Job Description

QA Engineer - Unpublished R&D Product

QA Engineers are champions for quality, focused on testing in service of a holistic understanding of Riot's projects. They create test plans and evaluate both the functional and subjective caliber of projects for a Riot development team. As every project is different, they listen and improve, to put the players and their team first, and to solve ambiguous and complex problems. Most importantly, it's their passion and love for quality that ensures that QA Engineers help us level up and improve our processes, giving players the best experiences while playing our games.

As a QA Engineer II on an Unpublished R&D Product, you will support the QA process for multiple areas and teams. You will work with software engineers, content developers, artists, producers and project managers to create value for Players around the world by running complex tests and designing processes for efficient testing across multiple platforms. You will be guided by Riot's Test Policy to ensure the execution of quality activities at every stage of the software development life cycle. You will also be tasked to work with other QA professionals, often remotely to get your work completed. You will report to a Senior QA Manager.

Responsibilities:
• Your execution of quality activities (testing, risk assessment) impacts the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of the teams you support as well as the whole product. You will have specific recommendations for improvements on the development process and quality of the products you work on.
• You solve complex problems by innovating on best practices, and implement new ways of approaching and mitigating quality risks.
• You need little instruction on day-to-day work, and you are able to operate independently, while also instructing other QA and external testers in their day to day tasks.
• Your skills show expertise in one area, and you are able to deploy a variety of craft elements to solve increasingly complex problems.

Required Qualifications:
• Experience designing and executing test plans.
• Experience managing components of a defect database.
• Experience tasking remote testers and providing feedback on effectiveness.
• Experience testing and shipping on multiple platforms in a lab setting.
• Experience creating custom reports on test coverage and defect data.
• 3+ years Software Quality Assurance Experience, with success leading testing efforts on a team.

Desired Qualifications:
• Experience working on meta systems, products with a frequent update cycle, and competitive games.
• Preferred Licenses/certifications (or equivalent for all below):
• ISTQB Foundation Level
• ISTQB Agile Tester or ICAgile Agile Testing (ICP-TST)
• ISTQB Expert Level
• ISTQB Advanced Test Manager

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes sustainable development decisions. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!
