• You’ll become a QA powerhouse across a broad range of games from Indie to AAA, on all of the latest platforms.
• You’ll get the chance to speak to developers directly, gathering testing requirements, asking questions, and working together on the next big thing.
• You’ll be one step ahead in looking at ways to make improvements, take ownership for additional activities and create efficiencies in the way you work.
• You'll work side by side with your colleagues, investigating and sharing what you find, discussing ideas and challenges, and making friends along the way.
