Position: QA Engineer Platform Games
Experience: 2-4 years
Location: Netaji Subhash Place, Pitampura, Delhi
Employment Type: Contract role
Work Timings: 9AM - 6PM IST Overview

We're reimagining Atari's classic arcade catalog as short-session games for Reddit, MSN and emerging channels. We need a QA Engineer who can catch problems before players do, keep releases moving on tight timelines, and make sure every title meets platform certification standards before it goes live.

What You'll Do

• Test each title through the full pipeline: functional, regression, compatibility and performance testing before every release
• Look past surface bugs to judge the whole experience: gameplay feel, pacing, difficulty balance, onboarding and UX, not just whether the UI technically works
• Write and maintain test plans and test cases for internal and outsourced titles
• File clear, reproducible bug reports and track them through to a verified fix
• Check builds against platform certification requirements (Reddit, MSN) before submission
• Work closely with producers and developers to triage issues and keep releases on schedule
• Watch for performance issues like slow load times, dropped frames and memory spikes, and document them with clear repro steps
• Run regression passes after patches and live-ops updates
• Track quality metrics such as crash rate, open bug count and time-to-fix, and report weekly
• Use AI tools to speed through repetitive work, like drafting test cases or doing a first pass on logs, so you can move on to the next title sooner

Qualifications

Required

• An eye for UX as well as UI: you notice when something feels off even when nothing is technically broken
• Good bug-reporting discipline: clear repro steps, sensible severity calls, thorough verification after fixes
• Comfortable running QA on several titles at once within tight release windows
• Some familiarity with platform certification or submission requirements (Reddit, MSN or similar)
• Used to working with AI tools day to day, for things like generating test cases, scanning logs or drafting reports, to get through routine work faster.
• Exposure to live-ops testing: post-launch patches, events, seasonal content
• Basic scripting or test automation experience

Preferred

• Passion for retro/arcade gaming and the Atari catalog
• Experience with bug tracking or test management tools such as Jira or TestRail

Why Join Us?

• Build in gaming, not just hire for it: real ownership and direct access to leadership
• Ambitious, collaborative, genuinely fun team
