So, we heard you’re on this page because you want to work at Squanch Games, huh? GREAT TO HEAR. PROCEED. If you’re reading this, that means we have an open position on our team, and we want YOU to be the honorable chosen one to fill that thing up. At Squanch Games, we make dreams come true–the funkiest, bizarrest dreams from the gaping depths of our souls. Real complex stuff, but you probably know what we’re talking about because you’ve already played our games, right? RIGHT? (Hint: YES).
If you see molds and like breaking them, or boxes and enjoy stepping outside of them – ONWARD! There’s a hungry application eagerly waiting for you to click on it. Feed it your resumes and cover letters. Mmm.
We’re building out our QA team at Squanch Games and need someone who is ready to be part of a team that is laying down the cornerstone. That’s where you come in! We’re looking for eagle-eyed QA folks who have experience with cross-disciplinary, push-the-envelope, teams. You’re not just spending time in the build every day, but helping to define best bug-writing practices, working with internal & external QA, triaging bugs on the reg & being the conduit between the performance stability of the builds and the brave devs whose role is build optimization.
We’re looking for someone that is:
Experienced: You have experience in game development on one or many platforms (Console, Mobile, PC, etc.), specifically as a QA Specialist or Senior QA Specialist. You have experience with short & long, big & small project cycles and are comfortable with the tools, language & process of “finaling” games. You understand multiple genres of games including narrative-focused action / adventure games.
Feature owner: You are capable of owning multiple features in the game where you communicate status to the feature leads and test team. You create test cases and update them during the course of development.
Curious and passionate: You read and / or play games most days. You know what’s going on in the world of games and can’t wait to talk to others about it.
Qualitative Feedback: Can provide clear and substantive feedback on features, gameplay, progression, traversal, and level flow. We are here to find the fun! If something is not meeting our bar we want to know why.
Collaborative and humble: It’s super important that small teams are able to trust and respect each other and sometimes that means having difficult conversations. We’re looking for folks who not only give feedback, but seek it. You strive to collaborate with others and don’t care whose ideas win. Best ideas win
Tech-friendly: We need folks who are flexible and willing to e in and make changes when necessary, so you are comfortable with game engines, editors, and your suite of tools. Maybe you’ve even written a few batch files in your day
