Senior Quality Analyst for Bloodhunt

Games are made up of many different features, and it takes a cross-disciplinary effort to bring them to life. Because of this, you will not work embedded within a team - instead, you will be responsible for tracking different features, from planning to the prototype phase, until they are finally ready for release.

This way of working means you will have to collaborate with people from different teams: Game Designers, Programmers, Level Designers… and even sometimes our marketing department with the logistics for different events. This will require you to keep an open mind and build excellent work relationships with other colleagues.

We are proud of the foundation we have laid with our QA team at Sharkmob, and are looking for someone to continue to build this even further. We work hard to provide our players with high-quality games, and we are fortunate to be part of an environment where taking ownership and having fun are key to success.

Responsibilities
- Prepare creative testing scenarios and methodologies.
- Write test cases, organize QA tasks, and document testing processes and procedures.
- Coordinate testing with external FQA teams on the features you will oversee.
- Organize and prioritize bugs, and communicate efficiently to help production focus on the right issues at the right time.
- Proactively improve the test planning and our testing workflows on the project.
- Perform hands-on testing of your features in-game and report the issues you discover.
- Follow up with thorough regression testing on bugs reported in your areas.
- Ensure end-to-end testing goes uninterrupted, preparing and maintaining all the logistics required (hosting and maintaining internal servers, testing environments, etc.)
- Help with training, mentoring, and inspiring other members of the team.
- Collaborate with all the departments working on the project and inspire the people around you to always keep quality in mind when working on game features.
- Provide qualitative feedback on the state of the game and recommend potential solutions for areas that you are directly responsible for testing.
- Assisting with the planning and preparing internal and external user experience testing.



Requirements
- Demonstrable testing experience, 4-6 years minimum, working as a QC/QA or a similar role.
