About the role

Through creativity, collaboration, and trust, we empower our teams to push boundaries and turn bold ideas into experiences that resonate with fans around the world.
Do you want to craft games that challenge expectations and inspire players?
The goal: ensure every game we ship meets the creative vision of its team and the quality bar of Paramount Games.

Responsibilities

Plan, develop, and oversee the execution of project test plans across one or more titles, ensuring work lands on time and at the quality bar the studio sets.
This includes authoring and maintaining test plans for partners to execute, collaborating with those partners on scope and expectations, reporting progress, and ensuring deliverables meet studio standards.
You'll also help onboard new partner team members to studio policies and processes, and develop your own team through training, feedback, and hands-on coaching.
Partner with development to provide testing support and feedback across gameplay systems, content, and game balance.
You'll build and execute test strategies in lockstep with the engineering & production leadership and represent QA in cross-discipline meetings to ensure testing priorities track with project development priorities.
Work with engineering to integrate tests into CI, improve build verification, and shorten feedback loops.
Maintain and improve the bug database, ensure issues are well-formed and actionable, and surface major or blocking issues to development immediately.
Own the operational backbone of QA: 1st party certification coordination with Production and Development, clear and concise status reporting, and proactive prioritization based on where the project actually is.
Skydance Games, a division of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, is building the future of franchise-driven interactive entertainment.
Come build something extraordinary with us.

Requirements

Experience with 1st party compliance and certification testing.
Strong knowledge of console platforms, peripherals, PC hardware/software, and the standard Microsoft Office toolkit.
Ability to work independently, juggle priorities, and execute without constant supervision.
Associate or bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience.
Experience with AI-assisted developer or QA tooling (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, agentic test tools, LLM-powered triage, etc.) and a point of view on where it helps and where it doesn't.
Familiarity with game-specific automation approaches - bots, replay systems, deterministic sims, telemetry-driven testing.
Familiarity with Perforce.
Familiarity with Unreal Engine and/or Unity.
Experience working with telemetry, crash reporting, and analytics pipelines.

Compensation

The annual salary range for this position in Los Angeles is $70,000 – $90,000.
