Our 20+ person team (design, art, development, marketing) builds Heroes vs. Hordes, our flagship survival action roguelite RPG with 13M+ installs and a global player base that keeps growing. We've also just launched The Walking Dead: Aftermath, built on AMC's The Walking Dead license, so the studio has real momentum right now.\nWe're looking for a QA Tester to help us maintain a high quality bar on Heroes vs. Hordes as we continue to scale the game. You'll take ownership of hands-on testing, bug reporting, and QA coordination across features and releases, working closely with development, design, product, and community to catch issues before they reach players.\nWhat you'll do:\nTest new features, systems, SDK integrations, and releases on Heroes vs. Hordes, with a strong focus on manual and exploratory testing\n\nCreate clear, reproducible bug reports and independently maintain test cases, checklists, and test plans\n\nCoordinate testing within the sprint, identify QA risks, and make sure important areas are covered before release\n\nTurn player-reported issues from Discord and Helpshift into clean, actionable bug tickets, working alongside our Community Manager to translate player language into technical detail\n\nOwn localization QA checks, making sure translated text appears correctly in-game, fits the available space, and makes sense in context\n\nCollaborate closely with developers, design, and product to catch issues early, validate fixes, and track build quality and rollout health\n\nInvestigate bugs beyond the initial symptoms, gathering useful context, reproduction steps, device information, logs, or other relevant details where possible\n\nBring a player's perspective to identify bugs, usability issues, and rough edges that could affect the player experience\n\nHelp improve our QA processes, documentation, and testing practices as the game and team continue to grow\n\nWhat you'll bring (must-haves):\n3+ years of professional experience in QA, software testing, or game testing\n\nPrevious QA experience in the games industry, especially mobile or free-to-play games\n\nStrong understanding of manual and exploratory testing, including how to approach feature testing, regression testing, and release validation\n\nExperience writing clear bug reports, test cases, and practical test plans\n\nConfidence working independently and taking ownership of QA tasks within a sprint\n\nStrong written communication in English, since bug reports and player-to-ticket translation live or die on clarity\n\nGenuine interest in mobile games, especially roguelite or roguelike action games\n\nDetail-oriented, organized, and comfortable collaborating across disciplines\n\nOpenness to using AI tools in your daily work to move faster and cut the busywork (it's how we operate)\n\nFamiliarity with bug tracking tools such as JIRA or similar\n\nNice to have:\nFamiliarity with agile workflows, sprint planning, and release processes\n\nExperience testing mobile applications across different devices, operating systems, and configurations\n\nBasic SQL or programming knowledge\n\nExperience with DevOps tools like GitLab\n\nExperience investigating logs, analytics, crash reports, or other technical debugging information\n\nWe know that women and candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often hold back from applying unless they meet every single point. If you're excited about this role but don't tick every box, please apply anyway. We'd rather hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3658,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T21:14:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.294,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":92,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/swiftgames-qa-tester-fmd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/swiftgames-qa-tester-fmd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T11:21:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9257,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3894761},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3894761"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fswiftgames-qa-tester-fmd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fswiftgames-qa-tester-fmd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fswiftgames-qa-tester-fmd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/swiftgames-qa-tester-fmd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fswiftgames-qa-tester-fmd"}]}
