We’re looking for a Senior QA Tester who will be responsible for testing Frontier’s games throughout all phases of development, from pre-production through post-release content.

    • Perform regression testing for both internal and external issues.

    • Act as point of contact for specific features, regularly collaborating with cross-discipline teams to gather and relay relevant information back to QA.

    • Provide guidance and technical mentoring to other testers, including guidance on their documentation and advanced troubleshooting of other testers on the project.

    • Raise potential future hurdles for testing, pre-empt problems, and suggest best fixes and ideas for further testing.

    • Contribute to product information, identification of problem areas and analysis of trends to anticipate and navigate risks.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

    • Significant QA experience in the games industry and a strong understanding of QA tools, procedures, methodologies and workflows.

    • Advanced troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

    • Experience aligning testing with requirements, managing priorities and successfully collaborating across disciplines/teams.

    • Proven leadership or mentoring experience.

BONUS IF YOU HAVE

    • Ability to drive innovation and continuous improvement.
