Job Details

We are the makers of casual mobile hit Love & Pies, which launched in September 2021 and has now found its way into the hands of millions of players worldwide. We’re backed by Supercell, one of the biggest and best in the industry.

We make snackable yet nourishing games for everyone—built to fit into your daily life but with the emotional depth of your favourite TV show. Our team always comes first at Trailmix, and our culture is built on high performance and high care. We strive to be the best versions of ourselves, but always within an environment based on inclusivity, respect, and safety, no matter who you are or where you come from.

The Opportunity

As a Senior QA Analyst, you would be part of the development team at Trailmix who are responsible to help ensure that all of the releases meet the high-quality standards that our players expect in order to make a big impact on our first game, Love and Pies.

Bringing a solid background in QA — ideally from within the games industry — this role suits someone who is hands-on, adaptable, curious and excited by the pace of mobile F2P. Whether it’s through previous experience or genuine passion, a deep appreciation for free-to-play games is key. A versatile mindset and a readiness to dive into new challenges will go a long way here.

Day-to-day

  • Get involved by reviewing feature or content specs, sharing thoughts, and shaping smart, efficient test plans
  • Responsible for quality — working closely with QA teammates and others make sure everything’s in great shape before going live
  • Peer review test plans to help ensure full coverage and learn from each other along the way
  • Share ideas to keep improving how we work — we’re always up for better tools, smoother processes, and smarter ways of thinking

About You

  • Brings hands-on QA experience from the games industry — mobile F2P exposure is great, but a genuine passion for the genre is what really counts
  • Approaches features with curiosity, breaking them down to understand how they work and how they could be improved
  • Comfortable building thoughtful test plans using a range of approaches, and always open to learning new techniques
  • Understands the ins and outs of live ops in F2P mobile — whether through direct experience or a strong grasp of how content and events keep things engaging
  • Knows the value of solid bug workflows and tools like Jira, TestRail and Testmo, but sees process as a means to ship quality, not red tape
  • Communicates clearly and works well in a team — sharing ideas, asking questions, and supporting others to deliver great work
  • Has some familiarity with in-game analytics or content management tools, with a drive to dig deeper
  • Brings an interest in automation and game dev tools — maybe even some time spent exploring Unity or Unreal

Why Trailmix?

As a member of our team, you’ll work in an environment where collaboration and creative energy drive everything we do. We believe that working closely with colleagues from across departments is essential to crafting the best experiences for our players. Our office is a place where ideas come together, and we work side by side to turn them into reality.

Our London Studio Location

We work from our Kings Cross studio together three days a week — Monday, Thursday, and Friday, because we believe great games (and great teams) are built through genuine collaboration.

These days are focused, energised, and designed for impact:

  • We solve problems faster
  • We share ideas in the moment
  • We drive decisions that move us forward

This rhythm helps us deliver our best work not just for each other, but for our players. It’s how we build momentum, grow together, and stay ahead in a fast-moving industry.

Our Benefits

  • Investing in Your Growth: Unleash your potential with our generous development budget. After completing your three-month probation, all team members receive a £1,000 allowance to fuel their professional growth each year.
  • Fueling Your Day: Our kitchens are fully stocked with delicious treats and drinks, and we provide breakfast and lunch supplies to keep you energised throughout the day.
  • Building Connections: Join us every Friday for a team lunch courtesy of Just Eat - a chance to connect and recharge for the week ahead..
  • Planning for Your Future: Take control of your financial future with our contributory pension scheme. Plus, enjoy the added benefit of tax-free contributions.
  • Unlocking Ownership: As a valued team member, you'll have the opportunity to own a stake in our success through tax-advantaged stock options.
  • Caring for Your Well-being: Your health is our priority. Enjoy peace of mind with our fully comprehensive private medical care, with premiums paid by Trailmix. Plus, access mental health support 24/7 with the Spill Mental Health App.
  • Time to Recharge: Our generous holiday allowance allows you to take a well-deserved break. You'll enjoy 28 days of annual leave, including three company holiday days around Christmas.
  • Trailbreak: We close the office for one week each year to give the whole team time off to recharge and reset.
  • Surprise and Delight: Feel appreciated and valued with various company gifts throughout the year.
  • Celebrations: Join us for various socials and events throughout the year, from team outings to themed parties.
  • Setting You Up for Success: Receive a £250 work-from-home budget to ensure you have the proper home setup to perform at your best.

Our Inclusive Culture

Trailmix was founded to make a positive impact on our players, our community, and our colleagues. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture, and our priority is fostering an environment where people can flourish. We think it’s vital that players see themselves represented in games, and Love & Pies, we showcase the beautiful diversity of life. Love & Pies represents the people we are and the people we love, and we’re always looking to add more people who want to design games for everyone.
