Technical Tester at Bungie
Do you spend your free time trying to figure out how to break the games you’re playing? Do you see those bugs in games that none of your friends notice until you point them out? Are you obsessed with finding clever ways to combine items and abilities to become the most powerful? Do you like breaking things and letting people know how you did it? We may have a job for you.
Testers at Bungie are grouped into teams, responsible for ensuring that an area of the game is ready to ship. This involves ad-hoc testing, flawlessly executing test passes, rigorous attention to detail, and amazing communication skills. You will work with your lead on a day-to-day basis to determine how to most effectively use your skills.
Technical Testers understand Destiny inside and outside, they have deep knowledge of the internals of the game. They understand how internal changes result in bugs that impact functionality and the player experience. Technical Testers focus on leveraging their technical knowledge to find and prevent bugs from leaking out. They automate as much of their work as possible with a goal of nailing all functional bugs.
