    Position Overview:

    As the QA Manager, you will play a crucial role in overseeing the quality assurance process and driving the delivery of top-notch gaming experiences. You will lead several teams of QA testers in both co-development and internal projects, establish testing methodologies, create and maintain test plans, and train senior QA to own projects themselves.

    • Bug Tracking: Establish and maintain bug tracking systems across varied client requirements. Help to prioritize and assign bugs, and ensure timely resolution of issues.

    • Compatibility Testing: Establish and maintain our capacity for performance compatibility testing across various platforms and hardware configurations to ensure a consistent gaming experience.
    • Documentation: Document and communicate test results, including defects, issues, and potential risks, to relevant stakeholders (internal and external).
    • Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities for process improvement, efficiency gains, and quality enhancement within the QA team and across the development pipeline.
    • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with development teams, including producers, leads, and individual programmers, artists, and designers, to understand project requirements and facilitate effective communication throughout the QA process.
    • Test Reporting: Develop internal test reporting structures that highlight key QA deadlines and priorities in test. Track bug velocities and fix fail rate, alongside other relevant key metrics.


    Requirements:

    • 7+ years of experience in quality assurance/testing roles, preferably in the video game industry.
    • 4+ years of proven experience in supporting and managing a team of QA testers, with a strong focus on team development and performance optimization.
    • Deep understanding of QA methodologies, testing techniques, and best practices.
    • Familiarity with bug tracking software (e.g., Jira, ADO) and version control systems (e.g., Perforce).
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail and a passion for delivering high-quality gaming experiences.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
    • Passion for video games and a solid understanding of gaming platforms, genres, and player expectations.
    • Experience in pitch deck creation and presenting.
    • Ability to publicly speak in front of potential clients and at development conferences.
    • An understanding of stakeholder management, both internal and external.
    • An understanding of the pressures and complexities of co-development testing, as well as the needs and maintenance of co-development testing teams.
