We continue to develop our AAA-level football simulator and are looking for an experienced and passionate leader to join the CORE QA team. Our team is responsible for how the player feels control over the footballer: movement, dribbling, ball receiving and passing, collisions, and other key gameplay elements.

You will lead an already established team of QA engineers and will be responsible for strengthening, developing, and ensuring its efficiency. Your main task will be to design and implement an advanced testing strategy for core gameplay mechanics to guarantee the highest quality of game feel and the realism of player behavior. This is a unique opportunity to directly influence how millions of players will experience our football.

Responsibilities:

• Team Management and Development
  Lead an existing team of QA engineers, mentor them, and support their professional growth. Conduct 1-on-1s, set goals, evaluate performance, and strengthen the team by hiring new specialists.

• QA Strategy Development
  Create and maintain a comprehensive testing strategy for CORE gameplay, including:

  • Control responsiveness and input lag.

  • Ball and player physics (collisions, rebounds).

  • Player control mechanics on the field.

• Process Implementation and Optimization
  Develop and integrate QA processes into the development lifecycle. Ensure QA involvement at early stages of feature design and prototyping.

• Collaboration with Key Stakeholders
  Work closely with game designers, programmers, and producers. Be able to constructively discuss complex features, assess risks, and communicate the QA team’s position.

• Quality Control and Reporting
  Analyze testing results, maintain quality reports for current builds, and make decisions on product readiness for internal and external milestones.

Skills and requirements:

• 5–7 years of experience in game testing, including at least 3 years in a Team Lead role with mentoring responsibilities.

• Strong expertise in gameplay testing, with a deep understanding of CORE mechanics.

• Proven experience in developing and implementing QA strategies and processes; ability to organize team work effectively and transparently.

• Strong leadership skills, including experience managing a team of 5+ people, motivating and developing team members, resolving conflicts, and collaborating with demanding but talented specialists (game designers, programmers).

• Solid understanding of football: knowledge of tactics, rules, player roles, and nuances of real football to adequately evaluate simulation realism.

Nice to have:

• Experience with AAA simulators: previous work on sports, racing, or other AAA simulation projects where physics and control play a key role.

• Hands-on experience with game engines (Unreal Engine, Unity) sufficient for debugging, using console commands, and visualization tools (e.g., collision or movement vectors).

• Understanding of version control systems (Git).

• Gameplay automation: knowledge of the possibilities and, more importantly, the limitations of automation in testing physics and overall game feel.

• Console testing experience: practical experience with PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
