Skymap Games is hiring a QA Analyst (CQA) to join our remote team of game developers. This is a certification-focused quality assurance role on console titles. You'll test our games on PlayStation and Xbox, help us pass first-party certification, and help us deliver the highest-quality games possible through insightful feedback and technical analysis. In this role, you'll think creatively and analytically to test our games thoroughly for bugs and crashes, and you'll also give non-technical feedback on gameplay mechanics, aesthetics, and feel. You'll keep detailed logs of your findings and meet with each project team to discuss them. We're looking for a detail-oriented tester who knows Sony TRC and Microsoft XR requirements, can investigate issues independently, and knows when a concern needs to be raised.

Ability to identify high-risk or high-priority issues and determine when further investigation or escalation is required.
