Amazon Game Studios (AGS) is seeking an experienced QA Engineer to join our Seattle-based game studios in bringing immersive and engaging gaming experiences to Amazon’s customers everywhere. Lead the testing effort on key features of a video game from start to finish -- test planning, test execution, leading a team of contract testers or outsourced vendors, reporting project status and signing off on the release criteria. We’ll challenge you to step beyond merely testing the product and truly affecting the overall quality of the development process. It’s a big responsibility and a great opportunity for the right candidate.

At AGS, 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.
