Senior QA Analyst

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

• 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.
