Amazon Games is seeking a talented and experienced Quality Assurance Engineer to partner with our game studios to bring high-quality experiences to Amazon’s gaming customers everywhere. You will support end-to-end software quality by leading the testing efforts of internal games services from start to finish – including test planning, test execution, leading a team of outsourced vendors, reporting project status and signing off on release criteria. You will partner with our Games QA teams to verify end-to-end integration of centralized games services. You will validate the pathways that measure our games portfolio’s operational excellence from our first internal alpha tests to production. You will also support testing the expansion of our website portfolio as they integrate with the live services of our upcoming games.

At Amazon, we believe games will become the number one form of entertainment on Earth and be defined by their ability to deeply engage communities of fans inside and outside of the playing experience. We believe the evolution that began with arcade communities a quarter at a time and grew to the live streams and eSports of today, will continue to a future in which fans are creators, players are celebrities, and games are a global cultural touchstone that cuts across age, gender and nationality. Games have the power to connect communities at a massive scale. This role will empower game studios to confidently and continually release high-quality products that delight customers worldwide.
