Job Description
Responsibilities:
- Design, execute, and track test cases for RPG game features - gameplay mechanics, quests, combat systems, UI/UX, and performance.
- Perform functional, regression, exploratory, and compatibility testing across target platforms.
- Log, reproduce, and triage bugs with clear reproduction steps, severity ratings, and evidence artefacts.
- Liaise directly with client stakeholders to communicate test progress, risks, and quality insights.
- Collaborate with dev and product teams to clarify requirements and define acceptance criteria.
- Participate in sprint ceremonies.
- Contribute to test automation efforts using tools relevant to game testing pipelines.
Requirements:
- 2-4 years of QA/testing experience, with at least 1 year on game testing - RPG titles preferred.
- Solid understanding of SDLC, test lifecycle, and bug-tracking workflows (JIRA or equivalent).
- Hands-on experience with exploratory and structured test design techniques.
- Familiarity with game genres, RPG mechanics, save/load systems, economy balancing, and progression loops, not just as a tester, but as someone who understands what makes them tick.
- Experience with cross-platform testing (PC, console, and/or mobile).
- Exposure to test automation tools is nice to have.
Must-haves:
- Strong written and verbal communication skills - this is a client-facing role.
- You should be comfortable presenting test summaries, participating in client calls, and translating QA findings into clear, business-relevant language.
