The engine enables game creators to bring to life deep, dynamic worlds. It shapes characters and makes them come alive, creating a true-to-life experience. Frostbite is also one of the technologies that enhance EA’s position at the forefront of the entertainment industry.

So, what is Frostbite?

You already know the role of the game developer as the pilot who guides the player through an amazing experience. Underpinning this experience is the game engine that makes it all possible. Whether it's the FIFA series enjoyed by hundreds of millions of players, the unique and iconic Star Wars: Battlefront universe, or the acclaimed action RPGs in the Dragon Age series, Frostbite is where all of it begins. 

Did your eyes light up at the possibilities?

Then you’ll want to take a closer look at everything Frostbite is - and see how you fit in! Frostbite gives way to living worlds, ultra-realistic animation, next-level in-game destruction, and stunning visual effects. It is a world-leading game engine designed to enable creators to quickly build experiences and easily iterate on ideas. Even more, it also creates a shared language for EA developers to help them bring their vision to reality and work together in sync. 

Used for building content for Audio, Animation, Cinematics, Gameplay Scripting, Physics, Destruction, Rendering, VFX, and more, Frostbite is the core software stack used throughout Electronic Arts and its games. The people behind it are not game designers in the traditional sense. Instead, they’re engineers building the tools, workflows, and systems that can grow and adapt in the ever-changing, competitive world of games.

Essentially, to work on the Frostbite team is to be pushing the boundaries of the gaming world every day.

If you want to join the team, we're looking for a mix of software engineering skills and a passion for gaming. In return, we offer a supportive environment with flexibility and unique opportunities.
