We’re currently focused on product modernisation, driving growth and building infrastructure for the next 10 years of community-powered modding.
Our Role:
We’re looking for a QA Engineer with a strong instinct for how products should behave and a natural curiosity for finding where they might break. You’ll work closely with our Development, Product, and Design teams to help us deliver a smooth, high quality experience to our users.
You don’t need to be highly technical on day one, but you do need a solid understanding of how to test effectively, how users think, and how features behave in real world scenarios. We value a thoughtful, user focused approach to testing far more than deep automation expertise. We do desire you to have the aptitude and the enthusiasm to learn automation and technical tooling, we’ll support you as you grow those skills.
