Your role in the team
- We're looking for a Senior Technical QA Tester to join the Idle Bank Tycoon team in Berlin. You'll own the quality of the game end-to-end: from feature testing and test automation to performance profiling and process improvement; embedded in a cross-functional team alongside Product, Game Design, and Engineering. If you enjoy both the technical depth of engineering and the craft of making sure things actually work for real players, this might be the right fit.
- Own features and test coverage end-to-end, from identifying QA flows and edge cases based on product requirements to release sign-off and post-release monitoring of the game.
- Design, write, and review test plans and test maps; review submissions from other QA team members and define the QA strategy for complex features.
- Write and maintain automated test scripts in Python within our in-house Test Automation Platform; monitor branch runs and enforce sanity checks on release.
- Perform technical QA analysis, when needed, including runtime profiling, memory analysis, CPU/GPU usage, and build size validation on iOS and Android.
- Monitor and investigate regressions: frame rate drops, load time increases, APK/IPA size changes across builds.
- Coordinate team playtests and game releases; oversee QA workload and priorities across internal and external testers.
- Own QA KPIs and drive continuous improvements to process and tooling.
