Job Description

We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!

For 30 years we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.

We’re not just looking for testers.

We’re looking for QA professionals who see the whole system. You don’t just play the game — you understand it, anticipate what could break, and help the team deliver better, smoother experiences.

What you’ll do here:

• Write thorough test plans for small features. You know how to cover every scenario a feature might encounter and make sure nothing is missed.

• Spot risk before it hits production. You notice the small things that can turn into big problems.

• Think systemically. Features don’t exist in isolation, and neither do bugs. You understand how changes ripple through builds and tools.

• Catch the edge cases. You know the rare scenarios that derail schedules and impact players.

• Communicate clearly across teams. Design, engineering, and production depend on you to surface issues and clarify impacts.

If you’re the kind of QA professional who can write detailed feature test plans, anticipate problems, and own quality across the system, we want you on our team.

QA doesn’t slow games down — good QA helps teams ship better games, faster, with fewer surprises.

This exciting opportunity can be based out of either of our studios in Oxford or Warwick, offering flexibility, collaboration, and the chance to work with a world-class team! We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment.

We believe in the power of face-to-face collaboration and encourage working from our studios. However, we understand that flexibility matters, so we’re open to discussing hybrid options based on individual needs.

Requirements

• Excellent knowledge and understanding of bug testing and tracking software (Jira/Redmine, TestRail/TestLink, Confluence/Wiki.js).
• Professional experience of testing current generation of consoles and PC platforms
• Thorough understanding of different game genres, mechanics and platforms is crucial.
• Able to process strong analytical skills to identify patterns, reproduce issues and troubleshoot problems effectively. The ability to think critically and approach testing scenarios from different angles is essential.
• When required, should be able to work closely with developers, designers and other team members.
• Able to manage time effectively and meet deadlines in a fast-paced game development environment, as well as prioritise tasks, balance workload and communicate delays.
• Should be adaptable to changing requirements, new tools and emerging technologies. A willingness to learn and stay updated with industry trends and advancements.

Benefits

We offer an extensive benefits package to our team including:

• 22 days holidays + Christmas closure (typically 4 days) & Bank holidays (increasing with service at 5 years – one day each year until you reach 31 days)
• Private Medical Insurance, healthcare cash plan, including dental and Vision
• Life Assurance, Income Protection & Critical Illness Cover
• Enhanced Family Leave
• Interest Free, Tax-Free loans
• Enhanced Pension Scheme

Right to Work Statement

This role is only open to applicants who have the permanent right to work in the UK. We are unable to provide or take over visa sponsorship, either now or in the future.
