Job description

Gram Games is the studio behind popular titles like 1010!, Six!, Merge Dragons!, and Merge Magic!, with more exciting projects in the pipeline. We are proudly part of the Zynga & Take‑Two Interactive family. We do things differently here: we work in small self‑managing teams, giving you an incredible amount of ownership, autonomy, and impact.

At Gram, everyone is expected to have a razor‑sharp focus on creating a tangible impact on their team, their work environment, and on the overall company strategy. If you are motivated by autonomy, constant improvement, collaboration, and a sense of belonging, this is the place for you.

As a Senior QA Analyst, you will be responsible for owning the test strategy for game features within one of our cross‑discipline feature teams. You will analyse what needs to be tested, write and run tests, as well as log bugs and report your work to your team.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the end‑to‑end test strategy for features independently and proactively seek support when needed
• Perform all parts of the fundamental test process with guidance: test planning, test analysis, test design, test execution and reporting
• Perform testing in the Unity Editor and on‑device across iOS, Android and Amazon
• Own testing for new code features, content additions and live‑ops updates
• Use public and internal tools to perform grey‑box and black‑box testing
• Demonstrate an ability to balance priorities of planned feature work with reactive live game issues and events
• Inspect designs, concepts, wireframes and code to analyse test requirements and risks for design‑dr features, seeking support for tech‑driven features and more technically complex components
• Identify problems with designs, schedules and plans to support bug prevention
• Communicate test details and risks to stakeholders using language that they can understand and digest
• Review test plans created by other members of the QA team

What You Bring:

• Experience in game testing or adjacent domains
• Experience testing or building projects in Unity, with demonstrable Unity development skills and Unity Editor knowledge also strongly preferred
• Experience working within a game studio as part of a cross‑discipline embedded QA team
• Strong emotional intelligence with a focus on self‑awareness, self‑evaluation and an ability to empathise with the goals and perspectives of other functions
• An organised, analytical and thorough approach to all tasks
• An ability to communicate concisely and precisely, both written and verbally
• An awareness of mobile device testing with an understanding of the bug patterns and techniques unique to the platform
• Familiarity with source control (Git) and branching strategies, as well as how they influence test activities throughout the pipeline

Bonus:

• Demonstrable examples of personal game projects built in Unity with C#
• ISTQB foundation certification or equivalent
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Game Development, Game Design, or related field

In return for bringing your expertise to this top‑priority role, we offer some of the best benefits in the gaming industry!

Benefits:

• Highly competitive salary
• Private medical care
• Company bonus scheme
• Awesome onsite chef serving breakfast, lunch, and lots of treats (naughty and nice)
• Life insurance and a favourable pension scheme
• Healthcare cash plan including dental and optical coverage
• Amazing tech to work with and consoles to play and relax with everywhere you look!
