- Identify bugs and develop test plans for your assigned feature (e.g. mission, AI, audio, UI, gameplay, engine, online, etc.).
- Follow up on functionality bugs found by internal + external teams, and coordinate their correction (sort, prioritize, and assign to the right developers).
- Work with other development testers to stay up to date, fix features, suggest solutions to setbacks, share knowledge, etc.
- Meet with the development team to discuss progress, provide your creative input, etc.
- Create custom game versions, reproducing bugs to evaluate their risks.
- Write and maintain documentation, detailing defects found and their sources.
- Contribute to coming up with ideas for automated tests & solutions to optimize the testing process.
- Create your own automated tests and analyze test results.
Qualifications
What you bring
- Around 2 years of experience in quality control or quality assurance (or other relevant experience)
- Knowledge of bug tracking software (e.g. Jira) and test management tools (e.g. TestRail and Xray)
- Familiarity with networking and on-demand infrastructure

- A degree in a video game-related program (or related training)
- An understanding of test principles and methodologies

- Critical thinking, attention to detail, curiosity, resourcefulness, and plenty of flexibility
