The Electronic Arts Digital Platform (EADP) is one of the world's largest and fastest growing gaming platforms with a mission to change how the world plays games.

We try to capture the most memorable portions of player experiences using data in real-time, allowing players to compare their skills and growth, track in-game achievements, promote positive play, and even create replays of their own sessions to share with friends.

How can we predict and evaluate player connectivity to give them the best connection to other players?
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help us create high-quality, fantastic experiences for players.
