Take part in the development of our latest project, Exoborne, an exciting next step in the studio’s evolution and growth.

As a Senior Games Quality Analyst, you will contribute to building the foundation for a great QA team.

Working as a quality analyst with us is not just about finding and reporting bugs, but collaborating closely with a multitude of different departments involved in the process to produce the best possible player experience. We expect QA team members to be proactive and engage in establishing the testing practices and procedures for areas of the game for which they are responsible.

We're seeking someone who is collaborative, detail-oriented, adaptable, and skilled at balancing multiple priorities with care and efficiency. It’s a plus if you’re a gamer and even better if you enjoy the creative process integral to creating a new game and IP.

Responsibilities

  • Document test plans, QA tasks, and test cases for use by internal and external teams.
  • Help manage the day-to-day tasks of our External FQA teams and facilitate the transfer of information where and when necessary.
  • Review and prioritize bugs and create Jira dashboards for different project teams you will be supporting in this role.
  • Perform hands-on testing and gain advanced knowledge of features and areas that you will have ownership of from a QA perspective.
  • Follow up with thorough regression testing on bugs reported in your areas and investigate issues with complicated reproduction steps.
  • Assist with planning and logistics for internal and external user experience playtests.
  • Provide qualitative feedback, discuss, and engage with stakeholders, and ensure that we focus our efforts on verifying the game quality where it matters the most.
  • Be proactive in building the test pipeline and process for the features you will have QA ownership over.

Qualifications

  • Demonstrable experience with testing, 5+ years working with quality control/quality assurance or a similar role. Previous employment in the gaming industry is a big plus.
  • Proficiency in defect tracking tools and planning such as JIRA, Confluence, Testrail, and similar.
  • Excellent communicative and interpersonal skills, capable of summarizing complex subjects to technical and non-technical team representatives.
  • Ability to immediately recognize critical issues or testing deficiencies.
  • Familiar with common development tools such as Perforce and Visual Studio.
  • Experience working with Microsoft Office suite, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
  • Solid understanding of live game development cycles, and familiarity with game engines and dev tools.

This position is permanent and based in our Malmö studio. Please note that this position does not include relocation assistance.
