Job description

Ambition Needs a Place to Grow.

At Playtika, we create mobile games enjoyed by millions worldwide.

Combining the scale of a public company (NASDAQ: PLTK) with the speed and ownership of a startup, we are a global leader where innovation, data, and creativity shape the future of entertainment.

Here, your ideas matter, your decisions impact products, and your growth is supported across global studios.

Bring your hunger where it belongs: at the front of the pack.

The Role

You'll join our QA engineer as the second set of hands covering quality for the studio. Day to day, you'll split your time between manual testing, building out test automation, and helping keep the live game running smoothly - using AI tools to work faster and smarter.

What You'll Do

Manual QA

• Test new features, builds, and game mechanics across platforms (iOS / Android / Web)
• Design and execute test plans, exploratory testing, and regression passes before releases
• Write clear, reproducible bug reports and track them to resolution
• Validate fixes and sign off on release candidates

Automation QA

• Build and maintain automated test suites (UI, API, regression) to reduce manual overhead
• Integrate automated tests into our CI/CD pipeline
• Continuously identify what should be automated next as the game grows
• Use AI-assisted tools to speed up test case generation, script writing, and bug triage

Operations

• Monitor live game health: dashboards, KPIs, crash reports, error rates
• Be a first responder on production issues — triage, escalate, and help coordinate fixes
• Support live-ops activities: config pushes, event setups, app store submissions, release coordination
• Help keep internal processes (release checklists, monitoring alerts, documentation) lean but solid

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of QA experience, ideally in mobile gaming or another fast-shipping consumer product
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Appium, Selenium, Playwright, or similar)
• Comfortable scripting (Python, JavaScript, or similar) to build and maintain automated tests
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and bug tracking tools (Jira or similar)
• Genuine comfort using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) as part of your daily workflow — this isn't optional flavor text, it's how we work
• An "ops" mindset: comfortable monitoring live systems, digging into data, and handling things outside a strict QA job description when needed
• Startup DNA: self-driven, low ego, comfortable with ambiguity, happy to build process rather than wait for it

Nice to Have

• Experience with casual, or social casino games specifically
• Experience with live-ops tooling, remote config, or A/B testing platforms
• Comfortable reading and interpreting data/dashboards to spot issues - you should understand what the numbers are telling you, with AI tools handling the heavier data-pulling or data-querying
• Experience in a small studio or startup environment (not just large studio QA teams)

What does it mean to work at Playtika?

You'll join a team of leaders in the field, and enjoy amazing benefits, some are listed below:

• A competitive salary and performance-based bonuses;
• Hybrid working mode: Three days from our office, located in the heart of Warsaw (Browary Warszawskie), and three days from anywhere, per week
• All you can eat! Breakfasts, lunches, desserts, snacks and much more in our Playtika-only cafeteria
• Access to PlaytiCafe where all of your coffee (and other refreshments) dreams come true;
• Six "Power Up" long weekends for all, and additional day off for your birthday month;
• Private medical healthcare and three additional sick leave days;
• A wellness program in the office: yoga classes, massage chairs and zerobody room;
• Gaming room with a variety of activities;
• Flexible working hours and monthly happy hours;
• Work permit assistance for employees;
• Corporate celebrations, team buildings, and fun activities.
