Position: QA Engineer Platform Games Experience: 2-4 years Location: Netaji Subhash Place, Pitampura, Delhi Employment Type: Contract role Work Timings: 9AM - 6PM IST Overview We're reimagining Atari's classic arcade catalog as short-session games for Reddit, MSN and emerging channels. We need a QA Engineer who can catch problems before players do, keep releases moving on tight timelines, and make sure every title meets platform certification standards before it goes live. What You'll Do • Test each title through the full pipeline: functional, regression, compatibility and performance testing before every release • Look past surface bugs to judge the whole experience: gameplay feel, pacing, difficulty balance, onboarding and UX, not just whether the UI technically works • Write and maintain test plans and test cases for internal and outsourced titles • File clear, reproducible bug reports and track them through to a verified fix • Check builds against platform certification requirements (Reddit, MSN) before submission • Work closely with producers and developers to triage issues and keep releases on schedule • Test across multiple devices, browsers and aspect ratios, since these games need to hold up on any screen • Watch for performance issues like slow load times, dropped frames and memory spikes, and document them with clear repro steps • Run regression passes after patches and live-ops updates • Track quality metrics such as crash rate, open bug count and time-to-fix, and report weekly • Use AI tools to speed through repetitive work, like drafting test cases or doing a first pass on logs, so you can move on to the next title sooner Qualifications Required • 3+ years in QA/testing for games (mobile, casual or browser titles) • Experience testing Unity and/or HTML5 games across browsers, devices and aspect ratios • An eye for UX as well as UI: you notice when something feels off even when nothing is technically broken • Good bug-reporting discipline: clear repro steps, sensible severity calls, thorough verification after fixes • Comfortable running QA on several titles at once within tight release windows • Some familiarity with platform certification or submission requirements (Reddit, MSN or similar) • Used to working with AI tools day to day, for things like generating test cases, scanning logs or drafting reports, to get through routine work faster. • Exposure to live-ops testing: post-launch patches, events, seasonal content • Basic scripting or test automation experience Preferred • Passion for retro/arcade gaming and the Atari catalog • Experience with bug tracking or test management tools such as Jira or TestRail Why Join Us? • Build in gaming, not just hire for it: real ownership and direct access to leadership • Hybrid, flexible, trust-driven environment • Zero-cost comprehensive medical cover • Ambitious, collaborative, genuinely fun team E EO Statement Atari is an equal opportunity employer and we are committed to providing a workplace free from harassment and discrimination.
