Gap

Buyer

Enterprise / orgs

The gap in what exists: This is a funded, open position at a major enterprise; the 'gap' is simply that EA needs a qualified engineer.
Wedge to win: The wedge is a strong resume and successful interview performance demonstrating relevant skills for the EAX team's needs.
Reputation value (worth doing free for proof) — 10/100: Securing a role at EA would provide significant professional experience and a strong resume bullet, but is not 'reputation-building' for a solo operator's product fleet.
Likely monetization: full-time employment (salary)

Deliver it

A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.

You are a highly skilled JavaScript Software Engineer preparing for an interview at Electronic Arts (EA) for the EAX team. Your goal is to showcase strong expertise in modern web development, specifically for high-performance, interactive, and scalable applications relevant to gaming platforms and social overlays. Outline a comprehensive study plan focusing on advanced JavaScript/TypeScript concepts, common front-end frameworks (React/Vue/Angular), state management, performance optimization for web applications, and real-time communication (e.g., WebSockets). Include potential interview questions related to designing cross-platform social features (like party/VOIP/messaging mentioned in EA Connect) and how to ensure high availability and responsiveness under load. Also, draft a compelling cover letter highlighting experience with similar complex, user-facing applications and an understanding of the gaming ecosystem.

How you'd build it

1This is a job application, not a product to build. The operator would be applying for a role, not building a competing product.
2If interpreting 'build' as 'prepare for the interview': Research EA's EAX products (EA Play, EA Desktop app, EA Connect) and their tech stack.
3Practice advanced JavaScript/TypeScript, modern web frameworks (React/Vue/Angular), and game development-related concepts (e.g., WebSockets for real-time communication, performance optimization).
4Tailor resume and cover letter to highlight experience with large-scale, interactive web applications and any relevant gaming or social platform development.

Risks & moats

This is a job application, not a product development project; the risks are around not getting the job.
Competition for a role at a major gaming company like EA is likely very high.
Requires relocation or regular commute to Stockholm for a hybrid role.
Temporary contract nature, even with benefits, might not align with long-term solo operator goals.
