  • 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.

About The Company

Sharkmob is a game development company with studios located in Malmö, (Sweden) and London (UK).


Currently, we are working on two major projects: Exoborne – a Sharkmob original game created in Malmö, is a tactical, open-world extraction shooter set in a United States torn apart by apocalyptic forces of nature. The second project, developed in London, is another Sharkmob original IP yet to be announced. Our first game Bloodhunt - a battle royale set in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe, was released on 27 April 2022. 

 

We are fortunate to work with things we are passionate about and we have the privilege of creating entertainment for others to enjoy. We believe that if we have fun making games, people will have fun playing them. Fun is also about daring to do mighty things that allow us to reach levels of achievement we otherwise can't. All things said we want a fun, professional experience & so we all must lead by example.


We want everyone to feel like they have a stake in the games we make. Our games are not the brainchild of a few people - we own them together. Everyone’s contributions, opinions, and feedback matter. For this to work everyone needs to respect the big picture and high-level goals of the project. Shared ownership is at the heart of the Sharkmob adventure.


We embrace a system of "disagree and commit". This means that we accept that we might not always get our way but we wholeheartedly support decisions we make as a team. Doing more with less and making an extra effort to find the optimal way forward is always valued. We rely on smart decisions to take us further than otherwise possible. Making games is kind of like rocket science; but harder!
