• Benefits: Flexible start/end times, private medical, life insurance, income protection
• Desired background: Junior-level Production / QA
• Location: Guildford, Surrey - on-site
• Competitive salary, dependent on the candidate’s skills and experience
• Excellent career development opportunity for someone in the earlier stages of their career

JOB DESCRIPTION

We need talented people to help us build our high-fidelity strategy game on PC and consoles. The role can be thought of as “glue” that helps keep production of the game together. As a big part of a small team of highly creative individuals, you will get to do a lot of different types of work:

• Coordinate tasks between art, code and design
• Keep our project management tools up to date
• Assist with scheduling and load balancing of tasks for other team members
• Tracking progress, identifying issues and risks early
• Unblock things that block people, chasing things that need it
• Keep management and leads up-to-date on what needs attention
• Organising/coordinating team playtests
• Playtest our games regularly, always being on top of the latest developments
• Take an active role in game QA, ensuring content is at the highest quality
• Organise and coordinate meetings, including scheduling, agendas, actions and follow-ups
• Ad hoc tasks such as office management, team fun and social media

REQUIREMENTS

• Excellent English, both written and spoken
• Outstanding team working skills
• Able to inject fun into the workplace and inspire others with positivity
• Works well under deadlines
• A “gets things done” attitude
• Highly organised
• Attention to detail, with a strong eye for things that look out of place
• Good with a spreadsheet
• Significant experience in playing PC and console games, ideally within the strategy genre
• Able to troubleshoot issues within a game methodically (e.g. patterns and causes of bugs)
• Must already be fully eligible to work in the UK; we cannot sponsor work permits.
• Able to work full-time on-site in Guildford
  Entry-level candidates will be considered - the criteria are very much about personality and attitude, though having proof of this in similar junior roles may be advantageous. May suit someone with prior QA experience.
