What We Do

The Quality Assurance team owns the testing process, risk management, and quality evaluation of all products and functions across Epic.

Our team works closely with developers and production to ensure the best possible user experience for our community and customers.

What You'll Do

Our QA Programmers are highly technical QA professionals who are well versed in various testing techniques and can speak to which techniques are best used for specific types of testing.

In practice, they split their time between creating test plans, performing deep white box testing of programming code, analyzing processes for scriptable improvements, and adding to our automation test suites.

• Create test strategies and plans to cover multiple features in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• Address technical gaps and automation initiatives between geographically distributed teams, vendors, and agencies to deliver high-quality products
• Own feature-level test planning and execution, using a mix of manual and technical testing skills to analyze product quality
• Generate analysis of outstanding defects, recommend new testing areas, and prioritize fixes
• Report and track data quality to drive discussions around product quality and development health, support developers before, during, and after deployments, and manage incoming defects autonomously

What we're looking for

• 7+ years of experience in Quality Assurance
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, C#, Python, or Java
• Ability to confidently collaborate with senior members on technical topics and features
• Ability to assess scope and requirements and help drive project timeline / milestones / plans
• Must have a strong background in reporting and tracking for data quality
• Software or games testing experience in a fast-paced environment
• Technical understanding of web, mobile, XR, or game technologies, including automation, functional, qualitative, and performance against consistently iterative development
• Background in games, entertainment, or a rapidly evolving tech industry is required
