  • Game mechanics and systems

  • Online multiplayer functionality

  • Performance, latency, and cross-platform compatibility

• Collaborate with production to ensure QA is embedded throughout the development lifecycle, including during alpha, beta, and live phases

• Identify, triage, and manage bugs using issue tracking tools (e.g., JIRA)

• Coordinate with DevOps to implement automated build verification and regression tests in CI/CD pipelines

• Report quality KPIs and build risk assessment frameworks to guide production decisions

• Champion a player-first QA culture and ensure high-impact issues are prioritized for resolution
  

What We Expect From You

• 5+ years of professional QA experience in games or real-time applications

• Experience testing and shipping multiplayer online games

• Strong understanding of client-server architecture, networking bugs, and edge-case latency conditions

• Familiarity with game engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal Engine) and tools like Charles Proxy, Wireshark, etc.

• Experience with QA test planning, automation frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines

• Proven ability to write clear test cases, manage test plans, and handle large-scale regression suites

• Excellent leadership and communication skills across technical and creative teams

Nice to have:

• Experience with load/stress testing multiplayer servers

• Familiarity with matchmaking algorithms, player ranking systems, or anti-cheat systems

• Scripting or light programming skills (Python, Bash, etc.)

• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests

• Passion for games and deep knowledge of the multiplayer gaming ecosystem

What We Offer:

• The chance to shape and influence an ambitious multiplayer survival shooter for mobile platforms

• A strong, supportive team passionate about creating great games
