Production Line Director

We are a global team of creators, storytellers, technologists, experience originators, innovators and so much more. We believe amazing games and experiences start with teams as diverse as the players and communities we serve. At Electronic Arts, the only limit is your imagination.

At Ripple Effect, we are a studio where you can do the best work of your career. Above all, we’re driven by quality - in the games we create, and in the studio we’ve built.

Our values: We believe every day our work is better than it was the day before. We iterate and support our devs as they grow in their crafts and push one another toward mastery. We believe in operating with integrity, and creating a diverse team where everyone’s ideas are heard.

With studios located in Los Angeles and Vancouver, Ripple Effect has been dedicated to the Battlefield franchise since our founding as DICE LA in 2013. We created Battlefield 2042’s Portal, and have supported DICE on every Battlefield game since Battlefield 4.

Now, we’re looking for new team members to help us create the next Battlefield.

The Role: We are looking for an experienced Production Line Director to join us in our studio’s mission to create amazing games and experiences, and to elevate ourselves and our craft.
