Integrate realistic gameplay bugs that require thorough playtesting and on-screen analysis to discover and resolve.
Develop multifaceted gameplay feature challenges that rely on multiple in-game systems and mechanics.
Draft clear and concise briefs for each task, emulating the style of instructions from players, designers, or producers.
Create comprehensive reference solutions—including both bug fixes and feature implementations—for every assignment.

Conduct end-to-end playtesting of each task to guarantee reliability and solvability.

Preferred Qualifications

Demonstrated experience in game development, whether in AAA, indie, solo, or serious hobby contexts.
A portfolio or verifiable published work (personal site, https://jobeax.com/link/Cz8XAxLk1T5KKATi, Steam, GitHub, game jam entries, or shipped title credits).
Your portfolio is the most important part of your application and plays a major role in our selection, so please include the work that best represents your skills.
Advanced proficiency with at least one major game engine (Unity, Godot, Unreal), including editor tools, scene management, and debugging utilities.
Comfort with engine scripting languages such as C#, GDScript, C++, or Blueprints, with the ability to interpret, troubleshoot, and enhance gameplay logic.
Proven ability to identify and resolve gameplay issues through iterative playtesting.
Strong written communication skills for drafting precise task instructions and acceptance criteria.
