Technical QA Analyst II

Title : Technical QA Analyst II

Duration : 6 month contract

Location : Los Angeles, CA

Compensation : $60.00-75.00 / hour

Work Requirement : US Citizen, GC Holder, or Authorized to work in the U.S

We're looking for a Backend Services & Gameplay QA Engineer who can straddle both worlds :

On one side, you'll ensure the backend services powering the new player experience (account creation, progression, entitlements, first-purchase flows) are reliable and scalable.

On the other, you'll provide feedback for the designs of in-development features while also ensuring that the functionality of those gameplay features are working. Features like WASD movement and Machine Learning Bots.

You will guide an external test team to perform the same functional testing and feedback-giving that you do in order to boost efficiency.

This is a hybrid role that demands both system-level QA rigor and deep player knowledge to safeguard and shape the experiences of the next generation of players.

Responsibilities

Backend Services QA

• Guide an external test team by helping ensure the proper Test Suites have been made and executed on.
• Own quality for new player backend services : onboarding, tutorials, progression, entitlements, and rewards.
• Design and implement API and service-level test plans.
• Validate end-to-end journeys (e.g., account creation tutorial completion reward unlock client display).
• Identify opportunities to utilize automation for regression, contract, and negative testing and implement those tests.
• Debug complex service issues through logs, telemetry, and monitoring tools.
• Prepare for the release of these features by helping decide on and executing strategies that mitigate potential issues such as canary deployments, A / B testing, and load testing.
• Provide clear reporting that highlights risks and player-impacting issues.

Our Ideal Candidate

You're equally comfortable breaking APIs in staging as you are testing WASD movement in live environments . You bring rigor to service validation and the instincts of a high-skill player to gameplay feedback. By combining technical QA practices with deep game sense, you'll ensure new player experiences feel seamless and competitive integrity remains intact.
