Production Infrastructure & Engineering (PI&E)

At EA, the PI&E organization provides critical platforms and infrastructure hosting solutions that power EA's online gaming services, such as marketplaces, social features, and leaderboards. We focus on creating new services and systems in collaboration with our divisional and studio partners that create, maintain, and monitor the infrastructure and simplify infrastructure workflows.

At EA, we have a variety of medium to large size microservices written in Golang or Typescript, which adhere to good coding standards and architecture. There are a wide variety of tasks to be completed. These tasks range from developing core platform features to onboarding services and tools for specific requirements such as availability, tracing, etc. Furthermore, our team provides a platform Service Catalog to help partners manage infrastructure, ship quality code, and handle various other service-related tasks. Backstage is an open-source project that we rely upon for the development of new features.
