This includes authoring and maintaining test plans for partners to execute, collaborating with those partners on scope and expectations, reporting progress, and ensuring deliverables meet studio standards. You'll also help onboard new partner team members to studio policies and processes, and develop your own team through training, feedback, and hands-on coaching. •Partner with development to provide testing support and feedback across gameplay systems, content, and game balance. You'll build and execute test strategies in lockstep with the engineering & production leadership and represent QA in cross-discipline meetings to ensure testing priorities track with project development priorities. •Bring an engineering mindset to the QA function. Identify where automation, tooling, or better instrumentation can replace repetitive manual effort. Work with engineering to integrate tests into CI, improve build verification, and shorten feedback loops. Maintain and improve the bug database, ensure issues are well-formed and actionable, and surface major or blocking issues to development immediately. •Explore how AI tooling can extend the QA practice — test case generation, log triage, crash clustering, automated repro, smarter bug deduplication, AI-assisted exploratory testing. You'll be expected to evaluate tools critically, prototype where it makes sense, and bring the rest of the team along. •Own the operational backbone of QA: 1st party certification coordination with Production and Development, clear and concise status reporting, and proactive prioritization based on where the project actually is.
