• Monitoring build stability and overall product quality.

What We Expect From You:

• 2–5 years of experience in testing mobile games on Android and/or iOS, with a solid understanding of the full release cycle and QA processes.

• Understanding of sandbox / survival game specifics: open world, crafting & loot systems, PvP/PvE mechanics.

• Knowledge of client-server architecture and experience testing online/network gameplay.

  • bug tracking and test management systems (Jira, TestRail);

  • analytics platforms (Firebase, AppMetrica, GameAnalytics);

  • emulators (Bluestacks, Nox, etc.);

  • CI/CD systems (GitLab, TeamCity).

• Experience working with development and debugging tools, including Android Studio, adb, logcat, Xcode, and Unity (basic navigation, assets, and component logic).

• Familiarity with network traffic analysis tools (Charles, Fiddler, Wireshark) and version control systems (Git: pull, fetch, log).

• Strong communication skills, ability to work in a multitasking environment, prioritize tasks effectively, and maintain a high level of attention to detail.

• Experience working with AI tools (Claude, Gemini).

• Knowledge of programming languages (C#, Python).

• English - B1+ level, Russian - C1 level.

Bonus If You Have:

• Passion for hardcore and survival games; hands-on experience with games like RUST, ARK, DayZ, or similar titles.

• Experience in test automation for Unity-based mobile games.

• Experience working with integrations (Firebase).

• Experience working with JSON files.

What We Offer:
