We wouldn't be able to make the games that we do, without our team of inhouse testers. QA are the gatekeepers of games development, providing an essential service to make sure that the games we release to our communities maintain the high quality bar that has become expected from a Team 17 release.

We are looking to grow our first QA team into Manchester, so are on the search for ambitious, impassioned and driven QA Analysts who can join a new studio and be a part of first release from Team 17 Manchester, playing an active role in setting the quality bar for all future releases by the studio.
