QA Tester

Akatsuki Games is seeking a QA Tester for its QA team, which works on the quality of mobile game products. The role contributes to maintaining game quality so that players can use the products comfortably. The tester is expected to examine product issues independently, determine what needs to be done, and take action toward resolution.

Daily responsibilities include quality assurance for new game functions and updated content. This involves analyzing risks, designing and carrying out tests based on those risks, and designing and performing tests intended to improve the player experience. The role also measures the quality of completed work, identifies issues, and handles defects.

The tester will help establish and operate workflows required for quality assurance. This includes designing the workflows, carrying out work according to them, and reviewing them regularly. Additional duties include coordinating with partner companies.

The position belongs to the QA team at Akatsuki Games. The company’s game business was separated from Akatsuki’s broader entertainment business to accelerate development of globally successful game titles. The team focuses on quality assurance in a mobile-game field where products have complex logic and testing areas and defects can become increasingly complex.

The stated career paths include team leadership to improve the QA team’s organizational capability, quality management for planning and strategy for new or large-scale titles, and QA specialization involving leadership of test-requirement analysis and architecture design.
