Senior Security Engineer - Apex Legends

Respawn Entertainment


About the Role

Respawn Entertainment is looking for a Senior Security Engineer (Anti-Cheat) to join the Apex Legends game team. This is a hands-on role working directly alongside engineers and analysts across the team to protect competitive integrity for millions of players across PC and console. Day to day, you reverse engineer exploits, develop mitigations, and harden game systems against novel attack vectors. You also drive the security strategy for game systems, identify emerging threats, and help shape how the team prioritizes anti-cheat work.


People who thrive in this role have a passion for breaking (and then fixing) things. Whether your background is software security, reverse engineering, or researching game exploits, what matters is that you understand how attackers think and can translate that into robust solutions shipping in a live game.


Responsibilities

  • Design and implement anti-tamper, detection, and prevention systems within the game codebase.

  • Harden client/server communication against injection, replay, timing, and memory-disclosure attacks.

  • Identify and close attack surfaces across the full stack - game client, dedicated servers, scripting layer, remote functions, and web services.

  • Drive security architecture decisions - both reviewing existing systems for weaknesses and securing new features early in development.

  • Assess the threat landscape and prioritize engineering effort against the highest-impact exploits.

  • Integrate and support third-party anti-cheat solutions.

  • Mentor other engineers on secure coding practices and anti-cheat awareness.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in C++ or other low-level lang
