Our seasoned team is composed of passionate game makers with vast experience in developing, publishing and leading some of the most highly successful game franchises ever released including FIFA, Candy Crush, Need for Speed, Angry Birds, World of Tanks and more.

As a Senior QA Lead you will:

  • Strategic Testing Leadership: Collaborate with game developers, product managers, and external testing partners to craft comprehensive test plans and strategies tailored to each game. Define clear test objectives, scope, and success criteria to ensure thorough evaluation.

  • External Testing Management: Effectively manage external QA testing teams, overseeing the execution of test cases, both manual and automated, to identify and rectify bugs and gameplay issues.

  • Thorough Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive test documentation, including detailed test plans, test cases, automation scripts, and test reports, ensuring clear communication and transparency.

  • Quality Standards Champion: Establish and maintain consistent quality standards across all projects, fostering a culture of excellence. Define standard quality KPIs across all the games.

  • Experience in test automation and scripting languages (e.g., Python, C#, etc.) to develop and implement automated testing solutions.

  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and a keen eye for detail to identify and resolve complex game-related issues.

  • Experience working with external QA providers to effectively manage and integrate their services into the overall QA process.

We create the best possible, small teams we call ‘Tribes’ and give them the freedom and independence to work together in pursuit of creating the highest quality games with high reliability and competition at the heart of the experience. Each Tribe has the freedom to pursue this goal as they see fit. It’s up to them to decide what is best for Sandsoft and for our players.

We Defer to Trust. We trust each other, even when we disagree. In this environment, you will work with your colleagues who will trust you to do what makes sense and give you the autonomy to do what is right for Sandsoft as only our game teams can make the decision to launch or shut down their project.

Everyone is a Game Maker. Everybody in our development team is first and foremost, a Game Maker and you will be no different. We encourage our people to use their talents where they have the most impact. We ask and give feedback proactively to inform our decisions. So while you are a master of your own discipline, you are also a key stakeholder and your role and voice is critical when it comes to concepting and designing Games.

We Live Our Company Values. We pride ourselves in hiring growth-minded people who show a motivated, collaborative, and entrepreneurial attitude, and who embrace our Core Values as the right way to develop something great together.
