QA Lead

5+ years of professional QA experience on software projects, with 3+ years in a QA Lead role.

Experience leading internal test teams and/or overseeing external test partners.

Functional and usability testing experience across multiple gaming platforms and genres.

Fluent with Jira (or equivalent) for tracking work, managing assignments, and pulling data for reports.

Solid grounding in QA concepts, terminology, tooling, and debugging workflows.

Experience with 1st party compliance and certification testing.

Comfort with at least one scripting language (Python, JavaScript, C#, or similar) for writing automation, parsing logs, or building small internal tools — you don't need to be a full SWE, but "I can't code at all" isn't a fit.

Working knowledge of CI/CD concepts and how automated tests fit into a build pipeline.

Genuine curiosity about applied AI/ML in a QA context, and the judgment to tell hype from substance.

Strong knowledge of console platforms, peripherals, PC hardware/software, and the standard Microsoft Office toolkit.

Ability to work independently, juggle priorities, and execute without constant supervision.

Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.

High school diploma or equivalent.

Pluses

Associate or bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience.

Hands-on experience building test automation frameworks (UI, API, or gameplay automation).

Experience with AI-assisted developer or QA tooling (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, agentic test tools, LLM-powered triage, etc.) and a point of view on where it helps and where it doesn't.

Familiarity with game-specific automation approaches — bots, replay systems, deterministic sims, telemetry-driven testing.

Familiarity with Perforce.

Familiarity with Unreal Engine and/or Unity.

Experience working with telemetry, crash reporting, and analytics pipelines.

Understanding of the software test cycle and iterative development practices.
