Covid-19 Hiring Update: We’ve transitioned to a work-from-home model and we’re continuing to interview and hire during this time. This role is expected to begin as a remote position. We understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore possible interim options.

We Want You
A new world and a new journey await you. It is a world different from any other Blizzard has built. If you’re a passionate game developer, and, well, a good human being, then we’d love to talk to you. We have a new AAA survival game in the works, set in a new IP for PC/Console. It’s going to be amazing, and we’d love to bring you along for the ride. Together, we’ll build something big, bold, and beautiful.

As a Senior Test Analyst, you will help support the development of our Engine across a number of systems and internal development tools. Aside from making sure we are providing a highly functional and smooth workflow for the team, you’ll be tasked with pushing your knowledge out to the rest of our growing QA team to help them take advantage of all the context and experience you’ll be gathering.

We believe our team is good. Really good. Granted, we’re obviously biased. But we also believe there are lots of developers out there who can make us even better. You could be one of those people. If you’re looking for a team where inclusion, thoughtfulness, empathy, professionalism, and collaboration are all seen as critically important, we believe our team could be a phenomenal fit for you. Join us and help craft our future!
