We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.
Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief's team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies.

With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.
Battle Road Digital, part of Onebrief, applies state-of-the-art innovations and experience from the video game industry to build the future of simulations, modeling, and operations with AtomEngine - our proprietary cloud-based game engine that's making the world playable.

Come join our small, expert team of technologists, game developers, and innovators as we shape the future!

  • Identify bugs, provide feedback, and identify opportunities for improvement in AtomEngine and in Battle Road's processes.
  • Perform a variety of Testing tasks in a timely, efficient, and thorough manner.
    • Tasks include Load Testing, Stability Testing, Functionality Testing, and other tasks as needed.
  • Communicate effectively with team members to learn new systems quickly, get & stay unblocked, and provide actionable test results in real time.
  • Be agile and adaptive to the demands of fast-moving workflows, priorities, and deliverables.
  • Work with Test leadership to create and maintain clear, detailed test plans and procedures.
  • Test AtomEngine's Developer Mod Kit, identifying and reporting bugs as well as providing feedback to ensure the best user experience possible.

What we look for
  • Experience as a game developer hobbyist, using scripting and visual scripting tools like Unreal Blueprints and/or preferably, GDScript.
  • Familiarity with PC gaming hardware
  • Strong organizational skills
  • 3 to 5 years of experience in video game quality assurance, with a strong understanding of QA principles, methodologies, and processes.
  • Proficiency in using industry-standard testing tools and software, such as version control systems, bug tracking systems, and test management tools.
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical skills, with the ability to identify and prioritize testing activities based on project requirements and objectives.
  • Concise, effective communication skills (spoken and written).
  • Requirement to be on-site in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas 3 days per week
  • Active Secret Clearance
  • Due to federal contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is mandatory for this position.
