We’re seeking a passionate, enthusiastic and technically proficient QA Analyst to help shape our next wave of exciting projects. This is your chance to join one of the UK’s leading independent studios, renowned for original IPs such as Sniper Elite, Zombie Army and Atomfall!

The QA Analyst position is focused on testing games and applications across multiple platforms in accordance with established test plans. You'll be responsible for crafting succinct bug reports, including all pertinent supporting information and delivering thoughtful, sharp analysis. As an integral member of the QA team, you will contribute significantly to the quality assurance efforts for all of Rebellion's thrilling titles.

This position is ideal for individuals with experience in game testing and familiarity with game testing models. The Rebellion QA team is committed to ensuring that every game released meets the highest standards of design and development.

This exciting opportunity can be based out of either of our studios in Oxford or Warwick, offering flexibility, collaboration, and the chance to work with a world-class team! We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment.

• You will be expected to maintain detailed records of your testing activities, including test plans, test results, and any issues encountered during testing. This documentation helps in tracking progress, identifying patterns and providing feedback to the development team.
• As an experienced tester, you may be asked to provide feedback on gameplay mechanics, user interface, and overall user experience. Your insights and suggestions can contribute to the game's improvement and help shape its final version.
• You will be expected to follow established testing methodologies, best practices and quality standards to ensure consistency and accuracy in your testing processes.
