Pocket Gems seeks to build the greatest games and most compelling interactive entertainment in the world. That’s the mission our founders began with in an apartment above a pizza shop back in 2009 and it continues to inspire us today. Since then, we’ve grown to over 200 people in San Francisco, and with $155 million in backing from Sequoia Capital and Tencent, we’re constantly breaking new ground in mobile entertainment.

Our products have been downloaded over 450 million times by players around the world. In recent years, we’ve launched Episode, a mobile storytelling network and platform, and War Dragons, a visually stunning 3D real-time strategy game. As our community of players continues to grow, we’re committed to building diverse and inclusive environments across our teams, and in our games.

You’ll also be tackling exciting testing challenges, verifying continuously updated content, helping to create the best mobile testing tools, and working with mobile engineers who crave and appreciate each of your bugs - imagine that! And, you will have a seat at the table when designing and enhancing our games - we love great ideas and don't care where they come from.

  • Write relevant, actionable, and reproducible bug reports that stand up to withering scrutiny
  • Be a strong proponent of quality and process to the game team
  • Collaborate effectively with Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers to develop features
  • Working with game team members to manage features from concept to execution. This may include writing test cases, creating test plans, and triaging bugs

What You Bring to the QA Team:

  • 2+ years of experience working in the software development industry
  • User-level experience with iPhone and/or Android
