The QA Department are our guardians of quality, the ones that ensure that the games we release are up to the standards of our much beloved players. If you are a creative, yet organized person with professional experience working as a Quality Assurance/Assistance professional within the gaming industry with a keen understanding of Jira and console development - we want to see your candidacy for this role!
About the role
As a QA Project Coordinator at Paradox, your role will entail working closely with the QA Lead and QA Manager, but also assist in creating a relationship with producers, internal stakeholders and various outsourcing partners.
You will ensure that new features are thoroughly tested, coordinating between the different disciplines, as well as hands-on QA work, such as writing up test plans and engaging with the game to report defects. In this role you will get a chance to interact with almost the entire organization, and will get very familiar with both our people and our games. We believe strongly in the Swedish way of “Freedom with responsibility”, which means that you will have a lot of autonomy in your role. The ideal Project Coordinator creates, assesses and tests out the QA processes they have been a part of creating.
As a QA Project Coordinator on Stellaris you will be required to perform both administrative tasks such as data manipulation and presentation as well as directly engaging with the project as a QA expert - reporting defects, regression testing and providing feedback on the features that are being developed.
