What You Will Do Embedded within the 4X Combat Pod, you will play a critical role in validating the core systems that define moment-to-moment combat, tactical depth, and strategic balance. You will ensure the quality, stability, and integrity of all combat-related features — from buff logic and PvP interactions to PVE raids and ability execution. Feature QA • Execute manual and exploratory testing for combat systems, ensuring correct implementation of buffs, debuffs, and real-time interactions between player and AI entities. • Conduct regression and integration testing to maintain consistency across combat features, balancing updates, and cross-system dependencies. • Document, track, and prioritize issues in JIRA, providing clear and actionable feedback to developers and designers. • Maintain detailed and up-to-date test plans, test cases, and verification matrices for all combat and systemic features. 4X Combat QA • Combat Engine & Systems Validation: Test and validate the Combat Engine and its underlying simulation logic, ensuring deterministic outcomes, correct damage resolution, and synchronization between client and server states. • Buff & Modifier Systems: Verify the Buff Engine and status effect systems, confirming correct stacking behavior, duration handling, and interaction rules between multiple buff/debuff sources. • Ship & Base PvP Testing: Execute comprehensive test passes for Ship vs. Ship and Base vs. Base PvP, validating combat resolution, targeting logic, ability cooldowns, and victory conditions under various configurations. • PvE Scenarios & Raiding: Test Hostile PvE encounters and Raiding systems, confirming AI behavior, wave spawning logic, targeting priorities, and loot distribution across different tiers and power levels. • Active Abilities & Edge Cases: Validate Active Ship Abilities and their impact within combat simulations, ensuring visual synchronization, cooldown handling, and expected interactions with buffs and environmental modifiers. Metadata & Fixture Testing: Collaborate with developers to test fixture setups, universe configurations, and web panel metadata to ensure data consistency and correct communication between backend tools and in-game systems. • Quality Advocacy: Champion combat quality and systemic integrity, providing structured feedback on balancing, pacing, and technical reliability. Identify opportunities for automation, test plan optimization, and smarter regression coverage across the combat suite.

• You will work within Feature Team A to ensure gameplay features are functional, cohesive, and immersive across the entire player experience. • Execute manual testing for all gameplay features, validating functionality, performance, and player experience. • Conduct regression, integration, and exploratory testing to ensure stability across builds. • Document, track, and prioritize issues in JIRA, providing clear and actionable feedback to developers and designers. • Maintain detailed and up-to-date test cases and plans for all pod content. • Validate Buildings functionality, construction times, cost scaling, repair flow, and backend-driven configuration of base progression. • Conduct functional and systemic QA for all Champion-related systems: acquisition, leveling, traits, active abilities, and combat modifiers. • Test end-to-end reward flows across all game systems integrating with the centralized reward pipeline (combat, events, missions, milestones, purchases). • Conduct functional and systemic tests for galaxy map navigation, fog-ofwar systems, point-of-interest discovery, and map-based rewards. • Test progression-based, milestone-based, and event-driven achievements across all game systems. • Perform systemic testing for fleet creation, coordination, combat resolution, and reward distribution. • Test all Inbox message types including system messages, player-targeted communications, time-limited rewards, updates, and GM messages.

• Develop and execute manual and automated test suites for core gameplay systems, Unity engine components, client–server flows, and platform features. Conduct regression, integration, and exploratory testing to ensure stability across builds. • Perform deep functional, integration, regression, performance, and compatibility testing across mobile devices and development environments. • Validate behavior across multiple build configurations, feature flags, and environment setups (dev, staging, live). • Perform manual and exploratory testing across foundational gameplay systems to ensure functionality, responsiveness, and player experience consistency across all supported platforms. • Test and validate technical frameworks, including asset pipelines, data integration, and backend systems, to guarantee stability and reliability in both live and development environments. • Evaluate the usability, clarity, and consistency of in-game interfaces and overlays — including menus, tooltips, notifications, and transitions — ensuring a seamless and intuitive player experience across devices and resolutions. • Validate onboarding, account creation, navigation flows, and internal deep-linking behaviours to ensure players can access and engage with all key features smoothly. • Validate REST/GraphQL endpoints, authentication flows, telemetry events, matchmaking/session flows, and data integrity between client and backend services. • Test internal tools, configuration dashboards, developer utilities, and workflows to ensure reliability and alignment with engineer and designer needs. • Contribute to improving QA processes, tooling, automation coverage, and test strategy for Core Tech while proactively identifying product, architectural, and workflow risks and communicating their impact. Champion best practices for engineering quality, data validation, and performance stability throughout the product lifecycle.
