Staying organized and maintaining a positive attitude in a fast-paced environment are key strategies for success in this role.

  • 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.

  • 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.
