Job Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced and passionate Senior QA Engineer with a specialized background in mobile game testing to join our quality assurance team. With 6 years of industry-specific experience, you will be responsible for ensuring the technical integrity, performance, and player experience of our existing and upcoming mobile titles. This role requires a deep understanding of game design logic, mobile hardware fragmentation, and the ability to lead complex testing cycles in a fast-paced development environment.

Key Responsibilities

Execute comprehensive functional, regression, and exploratory testing across a diverse range of Android and iOS devices to ensure consistent gameplay experiences.
Identify, document, and track high-priority defects using tools like Jira, providing detailed reproduction steps, logs, and video evidence to engineering teams.
Perform deep-dive performance testing to monitor frame rates (FPS), memory leaks, thermal throttling, and battery consumption using specialized profiling tools.
Conduct thorough compatibility testing across various screen resolutions, aspect ratios, and hardware specifications to address the challenges of mobile fragmentation.
Validate complex backend integrations, including in-app purchases (IAP), cloud saves, push notifications, and real-time multiplayer synchronization.
Verify compliance with platform-specific guidelines, ensuring all builds meet Apple App Store and Google Play Store submission requirements.
Analyze game design documents (GDD) to create detailed test plans and test cases that cover edge cases in game mechanics and monetization loops.
Collaborate closely with developers, game designers, and producers to provide early feedback during the pre-alpha and alpha stages of development.
Lead "smoke tests" for daily builds and participate in bug triage meetings to prioritize fixes based on impact and severity.
Facilitate localization (L10n) and internationalization (i18n) testing to ensure linguistic accuracy and UI integrity across multiple global markets.

Required Technical Skills

Minimum of 6 years of dedicated experience in mobile game testing with a proven track record of shipping high-quality titles.
Mastery of mobile debugging tools such as Android Studio (Logcat), Xcode (Instruments), and Charles Proxy for network traffic inspection.
Advanced knowledge of defect management workflows and project management software like Jira, Confluence, or Redmine.
Strong understanding of mobile hardware landscapes, including GPU/CPU variations and OS-specific limitations.
Excellent written English skills for drafting clear, technical bug reports and comprehensive test documentation.
Competent gaming ability with the skill set to navigate complex game levels and understand high-level player mechanics.
Proficiency in using the Microsoft Office suite for data tracking, reporting, and documentation maintenance.

Preferred Advanced Skills

Automation Proficiency : Experience in developing automated test scripts for mobile using frameworks like Appium, Selenium, or the Unity Test Framework.
Game Engine Expertise : Hands-on experience working within Unity or Unreal Engine editors to inspect game objects and trigger specific test scenarios.
Network Testing : Familiarity with testing games under varying network conditions (3G, 4G, 5G, and high-latency Wi-Fi) using network emulation tools.
Security & Cheat Testing : Knowledge of common mobile game vulnerabilities and experience testing against client-side manipulation or "modding."
API Testing : Proficiency in validating backend game services using Postman to inspect JSON/XML responses and server-side triggers.

Technical Stack

Platforms : iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android (Phone/Tablet/Foldable)
Debugging : Logcat, Xcode Instruments, Console
Profiling : PerfDog, GameBench, Unity Profiler
Proxy Tools : Charles Proxy, Fiddler
Bug Tracking : Jira, Zephyr, TestRail
Game Engines : Unity, Unreal Engine 4/5
