We do things differently here: we work in small self-managing teams, enabling you to have an incredible amount of ownership, autonomy and impact.

<p>At Gram everyone is expected to have a razor-sharp focus on what creates tangible impact: impact on their team, impact on their work environment and impact on the overall company strategy. If you are motivated by autonomy, constant improvement, collaboration and the sense of belonging, this is the job for you.</p>
<p><strong>Job Purpose</strong></p>
<p>As a QA Engineer, you will have good, technical QA and project expertise, and have full ownership of quality across designated game areas.

A QA Engineer divides their time between writing and executing tests directly themselves. </p>
<p><strong>Reports to: </strong>QA Manager</p>
<p><strong>Scope of Responsibility:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The QA Engineer contributes to a team of around 20 multidisciplinary members, and owns the test strategy for features of moderate complexity. They’ll have experience being embedded within development teams, and a good understanding of how to deploy a range of test techniques to get their work tested. </p>
<p><strong>Internal Testing: </strong></p>
<p>Gram is pivoting from a vendor-centric approach to an internal one. As such, through coordinated planning and engagement with the wider Gram QA team, the QA Engineer can organise their work into a steady pipeline for a team of internal peers for execution. They’ll lean on experience or quickly learn how to write tests, optimised for this format. </p>
<p><strong>Information, Reporting and Communication:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The QA Engineer communicates gracefully with both their multi-discipline development, and wider Gram QA teams, understanding when and how to engage each. </p>
<p>You’ll be able to write tests that yield clear results, provide useful data, answer investigative questions and then package the results into an easily digestible format for feature stakeholders. </p>
<p><strong>Best Practice:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>While not necessarily aware of every cutting edge best practice, the QA Engineer has a sense and instinct for what ‘good’ game QA looks like, and can lean on past experiences to inform their decision making and test writing. </p>
<p><strong>Work Ethic: </strong></p>
<p>Being a member of the Gram QA team means you are wholly and genuinely passionate about what you spend your time doing. We rely on individuals to own their personal time management, to constantly seek out work and learning opportunities, as opposed to waiting for them to come to you.<em> </em>If you’re going to do something, do it <em>right</em>! </p>
