QA Analyst in Oxford

We want you to JOIN THE REBELLION. 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 AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.

We're seeking a passionate, enthusiastic and technically proficient QA Analyst to help shape our next wave of exciting projects. This is your chance to join one of the UK's leading independent studios, renowned for original IPs such as Sniper Elite, Zombie Army and Atomfall.

The QA Analyst position is focused on testing games and applications across multiple platforms in accordance with established test plans. You'll be responsible for crafting succinct bug reports, including all pertinent supporting information and delivering thoughtful, sharp analysis. As an integral member of the QA team, you will contribute significantly to the quality assurance efforts for all of Rebellion's thrilling titles. This position is ideal for individuals with experience in game testing and familiarity with game testing models.

The Rebellion QA team is committed to ensuring that every game released meets the highest standards of design and development. This exciting opportunity can be based out of either of our studios in Oxford or Warwick, offering flexibility, collaboration, and the chance to work with a world-class team. We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment. We believe in the power of face-to-face collaboration and encourage working from our studios. However, we understand that flexibility matters, so we're open to discussing hybrid options based on individual needs.
