Founded in 2010 by the original creators of the Call of Duty franchise, Respawn evolved from an indie studio to a key studio at Electronic Arts. Titles shipped include Apex Legends, Titanfall, Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order, and Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond.

This is a 12‑month contract working onsite at one of our offices in a hybrid role.

  • Leverage the AI cast to build moments and experiences that exceed the sum of their parts.
  • Solve a variety of technical and creative problems efficiently.
  • Become an expert on encounter and AI systems, serving as a knowledge hub for team members.
  • Track down complex logic issues and design effective solutions.
  • Directly shape the player’s moment‑to‑moment experience in a tangible way.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in the games industry as a scripter, level designer, or mission designer, shipping at least one title.
  • Experience with text‑based scripting, visual scripting, and/or programming languages.
  • A passion for crafting gameplay‑driven encounters, moments, and experiences.
  • Strong understanding of game engine tools and pipelines such as UE4/5, Unity, and Maya.
  • A team‑player mindset with effective communication across disciplines.
  • A positive, solution‑oriented attitude and broad game knowledge.
  • Confidence in solving any problem.
