Role Description
We are looking for a QA Tester at Magicave to support the testing and quality assurance of our indie mobile game projects.
You will systematically test new features, game builds, updates, and live releases to help ensure they are stable, functional, and provide a high-quality player experience. This includes identifying and investigating defects, producing clear, actionable bug reports, maintaining test plans, and helping the team understand release risks and priorities.
As part of a small, collaborative development team, you will work closely with developers and designers to identify issues early, validate fixes, investigate player-reported problems, and contribute to improvements in gameplay, performance, usability, and overall game quality.
This position is Remote – UK-based only, 40 hours per week, 3–6 month fixed-term contract with potential for extension.
