 About GOLF+

GOLF+ is building the leading platform for off-course golf. What began as the premier VR golf experience is now evolving into a connected ecosystem spanning VR, mixed reality, and simulator golf, serving millions of golfers worldwide.

Since our launch, we’ve had over 2 million downloads and nearly 5 billion shots hit in the game. We are the official VR partner of the PGA TOUR, following investment from strategic partners including Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Mike Trout. We’re moving fast and expanding, and this is an exciting time to join us on our journey to shape the future of off-course golf.

In 2026, our focus is expansion: launching GOLF+ Putting and GOLF+ Sim, while continuing to invest in the long-term VR vision.

 Why This Role Exists

GOLF+ is expanding fast from VR into mixed reality and simulator golf  and quality is what keeps millions of golfers trusting the product through that growth. This role will be our only in-office QA presence, primarily responsible for our simulator initiatives, and will work directly alongside engineering in Austin to give the team a fast, physically-present feedback loop.

 The Role

Serve as the in-office QA presence and simulator POC for the greater team, working directly alongside engineering and leadership in the Austin office

Spend extended, hands-on time testing our simulator technology hitting real golf balls with real clubs into a net or screen as a core, daily part of the job 

Regularly step in on the VR/MR side of testing, executing test plans alongside our QA team

Partner with engineers and product in person to reproduce, clarify, and verify fixes

Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospective sessions

 What You’ll Own

Executing structured test plans across simulator, VR, and mixed reality builds (End-to-end, feature, integration, and regression testing)

Identifying, documenting, and flagging bugs with clear repro steps and supporting evidence (logs, captures, device info) 

Triaging and prioritizing the bug list, driving issues through to verified-fixed  

Validating new features, re-test old features, and ensure hardware compatibility before each release 

Utilizing AI tools to accelerate testing workflows - generating test cases from requirements, triaging bugs, and streamlining reporting 

Running regression suites during major platform transitions, including cross-build comparisons
