Senior Software Engineer - Quality Verification - Motive

Motive is a new creative-driven studio, led by a team of industry veterans. Our suite of games includes AAA titles that range from new IP to proven titles with timelines to reinvent themselves every year. We are a big studio of small teams. As such we seek out the most talented people in the industry and we give them an environment where they can flourish with autonomy. We believe the product we make is as only as good as the staff we hire. We encourage a culture of support, education and collaboration.

As Senior Software Engineer on QE you will be part of enabling the studio to adopt new or proven technology to continuously improve the way we work.

As such, you will be expected to build highly portable and scalable software that should have strong value to many teams in EA . Technical testing of AAA titles is very much in its infancy and has the potential for large change. Given the sheer volume of possibilities, we need a strong generalist that is happy to “jump in and learn” as the technology we work on can range from full stack web development, small made for purpose tools, big data solutions to working with AI. You should encompass the senior role in every meaning of the term: excellence in development practices, leading of internal growth, develop sound technical plan s that produce meaningful impact to the business and in turn, contribute to the production of a great game. In return, you will be given the autonomy and support to do so.
