Description & Requirements

Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Here, everyone is part of the story. Part of a community that connects across the globe. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

Central Technology is the force multiplier, accelerating creative opportunity and progress at EA. We’re a world-class community of technologists, innovators, strategists, and orchestrators transforming interactive entertainment. Together, we power the platforms, AI-driven tools, live services, and infrastructure that ensure global scale, secure player experiences, and unlock bold new possibilities.

EA Security protects our players, employees, products, and platforms. We set security standards, support game and enterprise teams, assess risk across partners and systems, and ensure compliance with global requirements. Our work strengthens system integrity, supports fair play, and enables teams to build and operate securely at scale.

Do you dream of a world with no cheaters in games? Do you have experience working in a Security Operations Center (SOC)? Do you know the difference between an aimbot and a wall hack? And do you think that all players have the right to a fair and fun gaming experience? If so, this is the job for you!

The Anti-Cheat Operations Engineer I is a member of EA Security's Secure Platform Engineering & Anti-Cheat Response (SPEAR) team and will report to the manager of the Gameplay Integrity Operations

As an Anti-Cheat Operations Engineer I, your primary job will involve monitoring the environment of our games using our internal anti-cheat solution. Your work will help ensure fair and fun experiences for EA's players across all of EA's games.

In addition to running daily anti-cheat operations, you'll perform investigations into suspected cheating activity to confirm or refute reports and improve the quality of our detections. You’ll deep dive into data provided by a variety of tools, and you’ll gather and review threat intelligence supporting our anti-cheat and UGX (user-generated experiences & modding) protection pipelines.

You should have experience working in a Security Operations Center, an understanding of the cheating problem in the gaming industry, and a passion to learn new technologies and challenge assumptions.

Investigate suspected cheating activity;
Gather threat intelligence to support efforts for anti-cheat and UGX (user-generated content and modding);
Perform triage and investigations of enforcement appeals;
Collaborate with other engineers on the team to improve the quality of our detections;
Plan work related to anti-cheat operations and investigation tasks;
Clearly communicate task progress and blockers to the team;
Write concise documentation for a variety of topics dealing with anti-cheat operations;
Identify needs and improvements to current processes dealing with anti-cheat operations;
Identify needs and lead the development of your technical skills in the anti-cheat space;

Qualifications

1+ years of experience as a SOC Tier 1 analyst working with SIEM technologies;
Knowledge of the cheating problem in the gaming industry (PC cheats, modding, external cheats, internal cheats, wall hacks, aimbots, etc.);
Basic knowledge of operating system fundamentals (processes, threads, virtual memory, etc.);
Engage and articulate complex technical topics to technical and non-technical audiences;
Identify knowledge gaps and seek the right sources to close those gaps;
Safely handle potentially malicious software;
Pick up new technical skills quickly;
Excellent verbal and written English skills;

Additional Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Information Security or similar, or relevant industry experience;
Information Security certifications such as CEH, CISSP, GSEC, OSCP, OSCE, or Security+;
Experience building tools that automate tasks;
Experience with reverse engineering or anti-cheat/anti-malware development;
