Job requirements
Your skills and experience (what you need to be successful)
We are looking for humble, enthusiastic, self-starters who take ownership over what they create and will help us shape and improve the company. Even if you don’t match the qualifications exactly, if you’re confident you can do the job, or can grow into the role, please throw your hat in the ring.
For this role, we need someone who is passionate about automation and testing, with great problem solving skills and an eye for detail.
Qualifications:
- Practical experience testing production web applications across supported browsers, devices, screen sizes and operating systems.
- Demonstrated experience planning and executing functional, exploratory, regression, integration and release testing.
- Strong understanding of web technologies, including HTTP, REST APIs, browser developer tools, authentication flows and client–server behaviour.
- Experience writing clear test plans, test cases and high-quality defect reports with reproducible steps, expected and actual results, environment details and supporting evidence.
- Ability to assess feature and release risk, prioritise testing effort and communicate quality concerns clearly to Product, Production and Engineering.
- Experience working within an agile software-development lifecycle, including refinement, sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews and release activities.
- Familiarity with test-management and delivery tools such as ClickUp, Jira or equivalent, along with source-control and CI/CD workflows.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to isolate issues across frontend, backend, API and environment boundaries.
- Clear written and verbal communication and the ability to collaborate effectively with Delivery Leads, Tech Leads, Product Managers and engineers.
- Ability to work autonomously on routine testing and release activities while recognising when technical, product or delivery risks need escalation.
- A customer-focused mindset, considering the experience of studios, creators and players when evaluating product quality.
Bonus Points
- Experience with API-testing tools such as Postman, Insomnia or similar.
- Experience using browser automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress or Selenium.
- Familiarity with automated testing in CI/CD pipelines, including interpreting failures and identifying flaky tests.
- Experience testing accessibility, localisation, responsive interfaces, performance or degraded network conditions.
- Basic knowledge of SQL, log analysis, monitoring or observability tools.
- Experience testing payments, account systems, content platforms, developer tools or other integration-heavy SaaS products.
- Experience in gaming, UGC, middleware or products serving external developers and studios.
- Relevant testing certification, such as ISTQB, although equivalent practical experience is equally valuable.
