Electronic Arts is building a mobile-first playground that feels part stage, part toy, part game—a space for self-expression powered by real-time interaction, motion, and AI, and needs an iOS Design Engineer to bring the product to life on-device.
Requirements
- 3+ years building and shipping consumer-grade iOS experiences, including at least 1 year with SwiftUI.
- Fluency in motion design and storytelling (Rive, After Effects, Lottie, or equivalent).
- A strong eye for visual and interaction detail—you notice (and fix) the one-frame stutter.
- Comfort working in ambiguous 0 → 1 spaces; bias toward rapid prototyping and iterative learning.
- Curiosity about generative AI and a knack for turning raw tech into delightful user moments.
- Hands-on experience with Metal or similar GPU shader pipelines (bonus for custom shader work).
Responsibilities
- Translate sketches and Figma mocks into SwiftUI components and real-time prototypes that feel magical.
- Engineer rich motion and tactile interactions using Rive, Lottie, and Metal shaders.
- Own the product’s interactive personality on iOS—visual language, motion grammar, haptics, and micro-animations.
- Partner with Design to push creative concepts forward, and with iOS Engineers to ship performant, production-ready code.
- Build and maintain a reusable interaction/motion framework and component library for the team.
- Explore cutting-edge generative-AI capabilities and prototype new creative tools directly on device.
- Contribute to crits, design reviews, and our evolving design culture; be a go-to resource for interaction craft.
Other
- Application must include a portfolio or collection of work samples.
- We're especially interested in: Interactive prototypes or shipped apps showing your blend of design craft and engineering execution
- We're especially interested in: Motion/interaction studies (videos, animations, or code repos) that highlight your attention to detail
- We're especially interested in: Links to GitHub repos, TestFlight builds, or short demo reels
- We value adaptability, resilience, creativity, and curiosity.
