About the role 

As Localization QA Game Tester, you will work within our Localization Quality Assurance team and be the very first person to see the localized game in its entirety – translated text, images and the rest of the user interface collectively.

  • Identify missing or incorrect content and ensure proper display/format of dates, calendars, and characters. 
  • Write reports on errors and bugs found and perform ad hoc translation. 
  • Oversee the quality of your work, collaborate with the team, and contribute to the overall success of projects. 

Our Localization QA team conducts language checks on upcoming games across a variety of cutting-edge platforms, including PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation VR2, and various mobile and tablet devices. As an LQA Game Tester, you will be working on top gaming titles for some of the world’s leading publishers.

Requirements 

  •  No experience required. Just fluency in German and conversational in English.
  • Strong cultural understanding of the language you are applying for. 
  • Computer literacy – particularly with Excel. 
  • Robust Internet research skills. 
  • Excellent attention to detail. 
  • Previous experience with using different software, applications, and websites. 
  • Ability to communicate clearly and concisely and collaborate within project teams. 
  • Candidate must be located within Europe.

What we offer: 

  • You will be working for the pre-eminent global provider of specialist services to the games industry and provided with full training and the opportunity to work on some of the biggest game clients, titles, projects, and tech in the world. 
  • Attractive remuneration, holidays, regular team competitions with great prizes; and inclusion into an extensive social calendar. Our environments thrive with collaborative teamwork with people from all around the world, different nationalities, and languages. 
  • A supportive community inclusive of LGBTQ+, and any age, ethnicity, religion, or disability. We care about the well-being of our employees and have a dedicated employee well-being program. We empower our people and offer regular progression opportunities to ensure our employees flourish. 
  • Learn as you work and be part of something real that changes the face of gaming - forever. 
  • Working with a global multi-lingual workforce with superb training and promotion and progression opportunities. 

Working Condition: 

  • Fully remote within Europe. If you're based in Braga, Portugal, even better!
  • With the possibility of transitioning to a full-time role. However, if you prefer to remain a freelancer, that's perfectly fine!

We are currently building a talent pool for future opportunities. If your qualifications align with a role/project that becomes available, we will reach out to you directly to discuss next steps. While there may not be an immediate opening, we encourage you to submit your application, as we regularly review our pool of candidates when positions arise.
