- Reproduce crashes, stability issues and performance regressions
- Produce highly detailed bug reports with clear, repeatable reproduction steps
- Test mobile applications, including Android devices

- Test interactive experiences including social, multiplayer and user-generated content
- Create and maintain test plans, test cases and release checklists

- Background testing games, VR/AR, interactive products or large-scale consumer applications
- Strong hands-on mobile testing experience
- Experience testing Android-based devices
- Experience sideloading builds and using ADB/logcat
- Strong regression, smoke and release testing experience
- Excellent bug reporting and troubleshooting skills
- Ability to provide precise, repeatable reproduction steps
- Experience creating and maintaining test plans and test cases
- Comfortable taking ownership and working independently within fixed release schedules
Nice to have

- Experience with Unity
- Multiplayer, social or UGC platform testing
- Cloud gaming/application streaming
- Performance and memory profiling
- Python or test automation exposure
- Live-service/Live Ops experience
Why this role?
