Join Our Dynamic Team as a Lead Quality Assurance Analyst

We are a spirited independent, fully-remote video game studio known for our critically acclaimed titles like Galacticare and War for the Overworld. Our diverse team shares a united passion for creating enchanting universes. Our mission is to continue developing genre-defying 3D simulation and management games, all while infusing our creations with a uniquely British sense of humor

In this pivotal role, you will be part of a dedicated team of developers who thrive on creating engaging games in complex genres such as simulation, RTS, and management. We value multi-talented individuals who take initiative, as every role is hands-on and directly contributes to the games we produce.

Design and Lead QA Strategy

As the Lead QA Analyst, you will shape the studio's quality assurance strategy, ensuring QA is integrated into our development process from the ground up. You will be the voice of QA in planning and milestone discussions, collaborating with design, code, and art teams to provide actionable feedback centered on the player experience. Your leadership will extend to both internal and external testing efforts, encompassing everything from day-to-day smoke tests to major milestones.

Success in this role looks like:

  • QA goals that are embedded in our roadmaps and development rituals.
  • Actionable feedback that enhances player experience and feature completeness.
  • Efficiently organized internal and external playtests that yield valuable insights for the team.
  • Enhanced performance, quality, and playability resulting from an effective QA strategy.

Hands-On Quality Assurance

You will take ownership of the entire QA pipeline, from test design to execution and reporting. Using Unity, you will identify issues, verify fixes, create and maintain comprehensive test plans, and communicate clear and concise risk assessments. Your ability to reproduce defects accurately and ensure minimal regressions will be critical.

Success looks like:

  • Thorough coverage of features and milestones, accompanied by rapid validation loops.
  • High precision in reproducing issues with clearly defined pass/fail criteria.
  • Stability dashboards and trend reports that support informed decision-making.

Optimize Build Flow

Your role will involve collaborating with production to enhance build distribution and release management continuously. You will define release processes, manage build distribution for the team and playtesters, and seek out process bottlenecks while driving automation improvements using Confluence and Jira to keep our operations transparent and efficient.

Success in this area includes:

  • Reliable, well-documented releases that adhere to our stability standards.
  • A streamlined daily build process facilitating continuous testing.
  • Reduced times from commits to validated builds through effective automation.
  • Adaptive processes recorded as living documentation that the team actively utilizes.
