Program Term
THE ROLE:
Have you ever completed a grinding raid, and just as you are about to pick up that sought-after piece of loot the dreaded Blue Screen of Death pops up? Have you ever had your finger on the trigger ready to make the last kill to win a battle royale and then the game suddenly quits to the desktop? If either of these scenarios have triggered some bad memories – this is your opportunity to do something about it!
This role is an exciting opportunity in which you will have great exposure to all the latest technologies in the computer graphics industry. You will get hands-on with testing the latest games, hardware, and software, and have an opportunity to drive improvement to the overall user experience.
Automation will be essential to the role, and the successful candidate would be comfortable interacting with the Windows OS and reporting on the results of these automated tests. AI/ML scripting and data analytics will be key areas of growth moving forward.
You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team with a strong focus on improving the user experience for our Adrenalin and Enterprise driver releases. We are looking for someone who is passionate about software quality and problem solving, and has a relentless focus on customer satisfaction.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate is someone who has a passion and vested interest in PC performance and the underlying technology. A successful candidate will hold extensive PC knowledge and a passion for technology. Familiarity with trends with popular background applications, streaming services, and use cases for different gaming scenarios will be very valuable in this role.
The ideal candidate will have prior QA experience in software, video games, PC or a related field. The right individual must work well with others, be a great communicator, and understand the functions of the different disciplines on a test and debug team. Familiarity with the architecture of a PC, and an expert in building systems and troubleshooting issues is a must.
A background in data analytics, or AI/ML will be an advantage!
