About the Role
Role details below.
Responsibilities
- Fix quality issues directly in the codebase
- Drive fixes for larger issues end-to-end
- Run weekly QA sessions on dev and staging builds on a fixed release cycle, with post-release production checks
- Test PRs in a fast pace - happy path, edge cases, cross-platform - and approve or request changes with clear reasoning
- Monitor Discord bug channels, validate player reports, and convert confirmed issues into structured tickets
- Catch things that aren't bugs but are wrong: bad UX, illogical behavior, things that shouldn't have shipped the way it did
- Ensure every significant change is tested across web, mobile, and Discord
- Find gaps in the QA process proactively - propose fixes, introduce tools, document and roll out improvements without waiting to be asked
Requirements
- Experienced with full-cycle QA: test planning, execution, reporting, and follow-through
- Sharp on detail and strong on judgment, you know when something is a bug and when it's a product problem
- Comfortable in the codebase, enough to open a PR for smaller fixes yourself without blocking on engineering
- Comfortable across platforms: web, mobile, Discord, and tools like GitHub, Linear, and BrowserStack
- A clear async communicator: your bug reports are structured, your feedback is direct, and nothing gets lost
- AI-fluent: you actively use AI tools to work faster and smarter
- Self-directed: you find problems, figure out solutions, and ship without hand-holding
- Responsive: you treat broken production like a fire
