Led by veteran designer Mark Otero—the original director of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, EA’s most successful mobile game of all time, with $1.5 billion in lifetime revenue—we’ve assembled an expert team with decades of experience building blockbuster games. Our debut release, UnGodly, will be Mark’s ninth RPG—and his best yet. We believe in harnessing technology, including generative AI, to transform how great games are made. The UnGodly development team is looking for a QA Lead to build and lead a distributed QA team, establish scalable quality practices, and drive release excellence.

- Experience partnering with live operations, marketing, and customer support.
- A proactive, resourceful mindset: able to work autonomously, seek out answers, and take ownership of results.
- Ability to adapt to ambiguity and shifting development priorities while maintaining high quality standards.
- Proficiency with bug-tracking and test-management tools.
- Strong communication, organizational, and stakeholder-management skills.
Bonus Points
