• Use creative problem-solving to find new and imaginative ways to break our games
• Proactively identify, analyze, and document bugs, ensuring that all issues are tracked and prioritized with clear and detailed reports
• Support our game designer with the creation and integration of new game content

Requirements

• Very good communication skills in English, both written and verbal, to effectively convey findings and suggestions
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen attention to detail
• Good judgment in estimating the significance and consequences of the bugs
• Rigorous, methodical, and resourceful approach
• Responsible, self-disciplined, and have good self-learning skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Passion for turn-based tactical games like Battle Brothers, XCOM, or Jagged Alliance
