Job Summary
We are seeking a collaborative and forward-thinking experienced QA Automation Engineer to join our established QA team as our resident Automation Specialist. You will be joining a close-knit QA Team.

  • Team-First Mindset: Outstanding interpersonal skills with a genuine passion for peer mentoring, coaching, and creating accessible documentation for manual testers.
  • Tech Stack Alignment: Strong programming/scripting proficiency in at least one (ideally more) of our core languages: JavaScript, Java, or C#.
  • Cross-Platform Testing: Experience testing web and mobile applications across multiple browsers and devices.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Qualifications
  • Experience or familiarity testing within game engines, specifically Unity (e.g., Unity Test Framework, AltTester) or the Haxe ecosystem.
  • Familiarity with continuous integration tools (e.g., Jenkins).
