Pour visualiser la description de poste en français, veuillez sélectionner le français dans le menu déroulant au haut de la page. At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect. And increasingly, the biggest entertainment platforms aren't just places to consume content — they're places where communities build. Creator-made content is already a proven part of EA's history — from community creation tools in Battlefield to The Gallery in The Sims 4. We believe new creative technologies and tools will expand how players engage with and contribute to our experiences, supported by thoughtful product design, safety systems, and global reach. Our focus is on enabling more players to participate in creative expression by making creation easier, safer, and more rewarding. As a Senior Character Artist on the Research & Engineering team you will partner closely with Art Direction and help define the project's visual identity, characters, and stylistic direction. You will lead the creation of visually distinctive, real-time character assets and modular parts for early playable demos, prototypes, and high-fidelity vertical slices. You will bring extensive AAA game development experience and a deep understanding of anatomy, proportion, and shape language. You will set production standards, establish scalable character pipelines, and provide valuable mentorship as the character art discipline grows. This is a hybrid role, onsite three days a week in Redwood City, California, Montreal or Vancouver, Canada. The Senior Character Artist will report to the Senior Art Director.
