What are some common challenges Xbox testers face when working on new game releases?

Xbox Testers often encounter tight deadlines and rapidly changing builds, requiring adaptability and strong attention to detail. They must thoroughly document bugs and communicate findings clearly with developers, which can be challenging when issues are intermittent or difficult to reproduce. Collaboration is key, as testers frequently coordinate with development and QA teams to prioritize issues and ensure a smooth gaming experience for end users. Staying updated on new testing tools and Xbox platform updates is also essential for success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Xbox tester?

To thrive as an Xbox Tester, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of gaming systems and software testing methodologies, often supported by experience in quality assurance or relevant certifications. Familiarity with bug tracking tools (like Jira), Xbox development kits, and test case management systems is typically required. Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities help testers effectively report issues and collaborate with development teams. These skills ensure that games and consoles are thoroughly tested and meet quality standards before reaching consumers.

What does an Xbox tester do?

Xbox testers are responsible for evaluating different games, controllers, and the Xbox console itself for bugs. In this role, you may play video games that have not yet been released, log each bug you encounter, enter test data into databases, work to reproduce errors, and provide feedback to programming teams. Xbox testers should not be confused with standard video game testers; this role emphasizes the performance of the console itself, including new software updates or features, though it may also involve some reviewing of new games for significant bugs before they are released to the public. Xbox testers must maintain the confidentiality of information gained during the testing process.

Common Search/ComparisonXbox Tester vs PlayStation Tester

Both Xbox Tester and PlayStation Tester roles involve testing video games for bugs and quality assurance within the gaming industry. They require similar credentials, work environments, and industry usage. The main difference lies in the gaming platform focus—Xbox testers work primarily with Xbox consoles, while PlayStation testers focus on PlayStation consoles. Both roles are essential for ensuring high-quality gaming experiences across different platforms.

What is an Xbox tester?

To create revolutionary, story-driven RPGs which go straight to the hearts of gamers — this is our mission. Want to dive deeper into our company’s culture? Explore our social media and check out our YouTube channel and Beyond the Game Blog where we share behind-the-scenes insights and stories direct from our team members!

Job Description

Join CD PROJEKT RED and help shape the future of QA Engineering across our projects and Shared Development Services initiatives. We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer to help build and scale technical quality solutions, automation frameworks and testing infrastructure used across multiple Unreal Engine projects.

You will be part of the QA Engineering team within Shared Development Services (SDS) - a shared technical group focused on improving quality, testability and development workflows through automation, reusable tooling and standardized testing platforms.

While the priority for this role will initially be supporting the development of Cyberpunk 2 - the follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077 - this is not a project-dedicated position. Your work will contribute to long-term cross-project QA Engineering solutions and shared technical capabilities used across the studio.

This is an opportunity to join at the early stages of a highly innovative game and play a key role in shaping scalable QA engineering practices from the ground up. You will work closely with development teams to build and maintain automated testing solutions, testing environments and shared technical tooling supporting multiple teams and gameplay systems.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with Engineering, Tech Art, Art, QA, DevOps, and central development services teams to support integration and deployment of automated testing solutions, shared tooling, and testing environments across projects.
  • Design, develop, maintain, and extend automated test frameworks and testing infrastructure for Unreal Engine systems and reusable gameplay modules.
  • Support migration, integration, and validation of shared automation solutions between different projects and development environments.
  • Investigate, debug, and resolve technical issues related to automation, integrations, testing environments, CI/CD pipelines, and build infrastructure.
  • Participate in the code review process and contribute to maintaining high engineering standards across QA automation codebases.
  • Work closely with development teams to improve testability, reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability of shared systems.
  • Mentor and support junior and mid-level QA Engineers, encouraging knowledge sharing and technical growth.
  • Proactively monitor and maintain CI/CD pipelines, ensuring rapid identification and resolution of build and test failures.
Qualifications

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in QA Engineering, test automation, or software testing, preferably within the gaming industry.
  • Strong C++ experience, especially within Unreal Engine environments.
  • Strong experience working with automated testing, tooling, and testing infrastructure in Unreal Engine environments.
  • Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks and testing solutions.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze, debug, and troubleshoot complex technical issues across systems, integrations, and development environments.
  • Experience working with CI/CD systems and automation pipelines.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multiple disciplines and teams.
  • Comfortable owning tasks and asking for input when needed with a strong sense of curiosity toward solving technical challenges.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience shipping an Unreal Engine-based game for Xbox or PlayStation consoles.
  • Experience with containerization and cloud technologies (e.g., Docker, AWS, GCP).
  • Experience with programming and scripting skills using languages such as Python, TypeScript or C#.
  • Experience with performance profiling, debugging or validation tooling within Unreal Engine environments.
  • Experience with asset processing and validation pipelines, digital content authoring tools, or other proprietary game engine tools.
  • Experience supporting shared tooling, reusable systems, or cross-project technical initiatives.

Additional Information

The application window for this position will close by 08/30/2026.

This job is onsite in Boston. 

Health & Well-Being

  • Company-paid medical healthcare (dental, vision, and mental).
  • Free mental health support, including access to counseling, psychiatric care, and a variety of well-being webinars.
  • Paid leave — 26 days of vacation, 10 sick days, & 12 calendar holidays per year.
  • 401K with employer matching.
  • Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) – $100 per month to use towards fitness, wellness, internet, home office equipment, learning, streaming services, and more.
  • Menstrual leave — employees who menstruate can take one extra day off when experiencing period pain.
  • RED Parents Network — support for working parents, including childcare benefits, and family-friendly events.

Perks & Professional Growth

  • Flexible working hours.
  • Trainings, lectures, and courses — internal workshops, knowledge-sharing initiatives, online tutorials, and e-learning classes are all available.
  • A welcome pack filled with goodies — to help you feel right at home once you join the team.

Life in the Office

  • Dog-friendly office — bring your pooch with you and look after them while working! There’s always a furry friend or two to meet.
  • Truly international working environment — a chance to meet and work with a diverse selection of people from all around the world.
  • No dress-code — we like to keep it casual.

This position is a new role.

Estimated pay range for this position: $99,000 - $163,400 USD annually
