Contract Generalist Tester
Do you love playing games, but love breaking them even more? Do you spend time picking apart game systems in order to understand them better? Or maybe to break them? Are you proud when you do break a game? We may have a job for you!
Bungie is looking for Testers who meet the rare criteria of being able to both push games to the limit with their creative ad-hoc approach and still understand how to execute a rigorous test pass against a well-understood system. This involves coordinating with a Test Lead who will direct your day-to-day testing, logging excellent bugs with a deep attention to detail, and utilizing your amazing communication skills to explain complex issues to stakeholders.
Quality Assurance Testers at Bungie should constantly be thinking about the player experience and should leverage that approach to help us find each and every bug that could negatively impact the players’ enjoyment of Destiny in the areas they test. This will require a strong desire to move between a wide range of complex game systems and an excitement to continuously learn them, but the results will speak for themselves when players get to experience the high-quality, polished game thanks to your efforts.
