(Senior) QA Tester
Are you excited when thinking about games like Alpha Protocol, which seemed lost for a long while until it was brought back to life in a version better than ever? Do you agree that people should own their games and game preservation is more important now than ever before? Would you like to be a part of a company that cares for those things and wants to make a meaningful impact on the gaming industry?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we would love to hear from you!
The role: You’ll be tasked with extensive research and tests of games that are considered for GOG Preservation Program and, ideally, you will be able to help us improve our processes, either by suggesting or automating some parts of it yourself. We still need to work on the regular releases though, so the three areas will need to be married together wisely. And if you are a modding enthusiast, this may come in handy in the future too :)
Responsibilities:
- Independently & actively researching games’ related issues during tests in order to minimise the risks (e.g. negative community reception of the game)
- Performing tests on all 3 platforms we support (Windows + MacOS + Linux) and preparing builds for these platforms
- Conceptual help with improving workflows & automations but also the initiative to suggest new solutions and taking the lead in implementing them
- Proactivity in acquiring further knowledge and making sure that you evolve in your role
- Taking ownership for given tasks and areas (e.g. piloting big testing projects from start to finish)
- Preparing reports after completing tests
- Looking after the testing environment
- Representing the team's interests outside
- Making sure deadlines are being met
- Being a stand-in for Team Leader/Coordinator in the future
Job Requirements:
- Passion and knowledge about games/gaming industry
- Basic programming skills that could be used to help our team/tool engineers in preparing/maintaining automations for our processes - python, mysql, django, C++ - we don’t expect you to be a software engineer, just have a knack for ‘technical stuff’
- Some experience in automation/AI use to increase the efficiency of daily work (for self and the team)
- Some modding experience and understanding how they work
- Being proactive
- Good written & spoken English
- Good communication skills
- Great researching skills
- Attention to detail, inquisitiveness & patience
- Team player
- A “Can-do” attitude and open mindset
- Basic knowledge on how to build a game (using automatic tools) would be a nice to have
