Job Title: QA Lead
Location: Remote, work from home in the US or UK only
Position Type: Full-time (40 hours)

What’s the Job?

Uplift Games is the studio behind Adopt Me, the #1 game on the Roblox platform (25+ billion visits, 1.92 million record CCU) all about adopting cute pets. We are looking for an experienced QA Lead to mentor and grow our small team, increase the quality of our releases, and write + execute test plans.

At Uplift Games, Quality Assurance team members are an important part of our mission to “Create Future Nostalgia.” As QA Lead, you will be involved in all aspects of the game development process, and thus it's important that you have strong communication skills. The ideal candidate is proactive at reporting issues and is an expert at setting priorities, following through to their appropriate resolution. They possess a creative mind and are always looking for ways to improve the user experience. They have the passion and confidence to push for the improvements they believe in while maintaining positive release paths and communication channels.

This is an opportunity to create an outsized impact on many millions of players while operating in a small studio where every person plays a major role. It’s important that you take pride in your work, love to learn new things, and are naturally driven to deliver the best-in-class experiences.

It is essential that you value diversity and want to work alongside talented people from marginalized groups. We are explicitly a trans, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC / BAME, and disability-positive team, and you will be an active supporter of all team members.

This is a remote position open to candidates who are based in the US or UK and can demonstrate eligibility to work in those countries.

  • Create and review test plans and test cases to verify the functionality and quality of releases for our flagship game, Adopt Me.
  • Plan QA deliverables and ensure coverage for testing requests.
  • Work with internal testers in planning daily and weekly tasks.
  • Manage external QA relationships, including those with 3rd party vendors and our volunteer QA force.
  • Track ongoing project statuses and communicate with Producers on a regular basis.
  • Document issues in Jira and follow through to their proper resolution.
  • Assist in bug triaging on a regular cadence.
  • Provide process guidance and team member training.
  • Work side-by-side with development teams to ensure the title is achieving planned milestones and releases.
  • Act as the point of contact for all QA-related communication.

These are the things candidates really should have but can make up for in other areas. If you’re missing one or two, consider applying anyway, especially if you belong to a marginalized group.

  • 5+ years of game testing experience.
  • 2+ years of experience as a lead or senior tester.
  • Team lead experience including streamlining workflows, tracking dependencies, long term planning, and training.
  • You possess strong knowledge of QA methodologies and terminology and extensive experience with bug-tracking databases.
  • Experience with multiplatform GaaS QA.
  • Excellent analytical and problem solving skills.
  • You are self-directed and able to manage both your own workload and that of your team in a remote environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, time management and interpersonal skills.
  • Willingness to jump in and help test all areas of our game.
  • You’re excited at the prospect of leading and shaping a team and being part of our studio at this exciting stage of our evolution.
  • You value diversity and want to work alongside talented people from marginalized groups. We are explicitly a trans, LGBTQ+, BIPOC / BAME and disability positive team.
