At Amazon Games, we believe that games will produce some of the future’s most influential voices in media and art. We believe the evolution that began with arcade communities, a quarter at a time, growing to the live streams and esports of today, will continue to a future where everyone is a gamer and every gamer can create, compete, collaborate and connect with others at massive scales. If this sounds exciting to you, please apply to join our diverse team and help us create amazing experiences!

At Amazon Games, you’ll have the power of Amazon Web Services’ cloud, Prime Gaming, Amazon Lumberyard, and our digital and physical media publishing infrastructure available as raw material to forge a future filled with amazing experiences for players, broadcasters and creators.
This position entails leading the testing effort of one of more titles from start to finish -- test planning, test execution, tooling and automation initiatives, leading a diverse team of contract testers or outsourced vendors, reporting project status and signing off on the release criteria. You will have the opportunity to partner with other disciplines and represent Amazon Games to our various partners.

The main difference from other Sr. Test Lead roles is that at Amazon Games Studios you will: get involved earlier and make a greater impact on projects; be in a position to help design and define our quality assurance standards from the ground up; and be challenged to step beyond merely testing and truly affect overall quality (i.e. quality assurance). It’s an exciting responsibility and a great opportunity for the right candidate.
