The Senior Reverse 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 sub-team.

As a Senior Reverse Engineer I, your primary job will be to analyze cheats developed against EA's games and to make it harder for cheat developers to create new cheats. Your work will help ensure fair and fun gaming experiences for EA's customers across all of EA's games.

In addition to analyzing existing cheats, you'll get your hands on new EA games before release so that you can work with developers to make it harder for players to cheat in their games. This means you will perform anti-cheat assessments that will cover everything from client-side tampering (external/internal), to network-based cheating, to source code review of thick clients in order to gauge resilience against cheat/hack tools.

Lastly, you'll need to determine the business risk posed by the gameplay integrity issues you discover and communicate your findings across teams to both technical and non-technical audiences.

The ideal candidate has an understanding of reverse engineering principals and a passion to learn new technologies, challenge assumptions, and find new ways to solve problems.

Responsibilities: Reverse engineer obfuscated user-mode cheats developed for PC, mobile, and consoles Document and report on the functionality of the cheats you’ve analyzed Solve well-defined technical problems in the cheating space Define and subsequently solve technical problems that are not well understood / are bleeding-edge in the cheating space Use architecture and design documentation to create anti-cheat assessment scoping documents and define cheating test-cases for upcoming anti-cheat assessments Perform anti-cheat assessments of pre-release products Consult with and advise EA game teams on how to mitigate classes of cheats Educate your peers on new reverse engineering skills and tools Develop tools, scripts, and extensions for automation and reverse engineering, both in user space and kernel space Identify cheat variants that defeat previous mitigations, and suggest solutions Articulate technical issues clearly to technical and non-technical partners Identify needs and drive the development of your reverse engineering skills and knowledge
