QA Engineer – VR / Gaming
Location: Remote, UK Based
Contract: 6 months
Hours: 40 hours per week
We’re looking for an experienced QA Engineer to join a high-profile technology team working on a large-scale social VR and gaming application. This is an exciting opportunity to work across VR, mobile and desktop platforms, helping ensure weekly releases remain stable and reliable.
You’ll take ownership of quality across a mature Unity-based application, working closely with engineers and release teams to test builds, verify fixes and identify regressions before they reach users.
Key Responsibilities
- Run smoke and regression testing on nightly, stable and release-candidate builds.
- Provide clear go/no-go feedback ahead of releases.
- Verify critical fixes across clone builds and release branches.
- Test core user journeys including avatars, voice, social features, multiplayer and movement between worlds.
- Reproduce crashes, hangs, ANRs, memory issues and performance regressions.
- Produce clear, actionable bug reports with accurate reproduction steps, logs and supporting evidence.
- Test across native VR, mobile and cloud-streamed desktop/mobile environments.
- Create and maintain test plans, test cases and release checklists.
- Support bug triage by validating, deduplicating and assessing incoming issues.
- Identify repetitive manual testing that could be automated and contribute to automation where practical.
