Job description

Stratosphere Games is an AAA mobile game developer based in Berlin, Germany, looking for a QA Tester to support the development of existing and upcoming projects.
As a QA Tester, you are responsible for the quality of all aspects of the game, not only the bugs or the game itself. Besides running test cycles you also communicate with the community manager about the player's feedback and their view on things while also communicating with the team about the state of the current game development to manage and plan your task and test cycles.
As our QA Tester, you are the owner of the product's quality. We expect a suitable candidate to own and push quality, not to be a passive reporter of issues.

Your mission

• Be responsible for the overall quality of all aspects of the game
• Play the game and be part of the community and take their feedback into your tasks
• Create plans/checklists for testing the game and discuss them with the team and responsible leads
• Create reports and education departments and colleagues about the game’s quality status
• Keep the internal QA standards as high as possible
• Work with multiple internal and external test teams
• Actively seek opportunities for improvement in processes and style of work
• Create and execute training to increase the product knowledge of all employees
• Evaluate, implement, and utilize bug-tracking tools to analyze and understand key metrics of the game or feature to inform stakeholders and facilitate decision-making at all levels
• Using data to develop proper risk assessment profiles while identifying major risks in a fast-paced environment

Your profile

• Excellent communication skills in English (German is a bonus)
• Passion and interest to play video games along with understanding how games work

Why us?

• A friendly and motivated international team to collaborate with for achieving breakthroughs together
• Be part of a great and stable-growing company with a friendly, but always challenging, work philosophy
• Work on innovative and thrilling AAA quality mobile games
• A large, open office space right in the heart of Berlin Mitte, surrounded by amazing (and not pricy) restaurants
