We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!
For 30 years we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games.
We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.
We’re not just looking for testers, we’re looking for Senior QA Analysts - players who are also masters of game quality!
As a Senior QA Analyst, you don’t just click buttons, you see the whole map, anticipate every trap, and make sure the team ships games that run smoothly for every player.
What you’ll do
- Write robust test plans for every feature - cover all paths, edge cases, and sneaky combos... no bugs can slip through the test runs.
- Hunt down risks before they hit production - you know where things can break, and you find things and get them fixed before anyone notices.
- Think systemically - features don’t exist in a vacuum, you can visualize how everything interacts across the game and its systems.
- Lead and mentor the squad - share your knowledge and experience with the team, be a resource, help the team level up and keep our processes sharp.
- Communicate like a pro - designers, devs, and production rely on you to spot problems and explain them clearly.
Qualifications
- Has proven QA experience in the world of games.
- Can craft detailed test plans without a guide.
- Thinks about edge cases, system interactions, and risk, not just golden paths.
