Established in 2018, Sun Studio is a game developer on web platforms and mobile devices with more than 1 billion plays, a strategic partner of the world's leading web-games platforms such as: Facebook Instant Games, Game Distribution, Glance Gaming etc.
The team consists of 80+ members who are passionate about creating high-quality games that are accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We are looking for a QA Manager to lead and scale our QA function across multiple game platforms, including Instant Games, App Stores, Google Play, and Web-game platforms.
This role is responsible for managing both Manual QA and Automation QA teams, building QA processes, improving release quality, developing test platforms, and driving automation/AI testing initiatives. The ideal candidate should be strong in people management, cross-functional collaboration, project coordination, quality systems, and test automation strategy.
You will work closely with BOD, Tech Leads, Game Designers, Artists, Product/Game Leads, and other stakeholders to ensure our games are released faster, with higher quality and better scalability.
QA Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and grow the QA team to ensure high product quality and continuous improvement.
Process and Quality Systems: Build QA processes, quality gates, test plans, regression suites, and release checklists.
Design processes tailored to different project types: new games, live games, feature updates, A/B tests, SDK updates, and store releases.
Project and Workload Management: Manage QA planning, workload allocation, and project priorities across multiple games and platforms. Ensure every important build has a clear test plan, test cases, test report, and release sign-off.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with Tech, Game Design, Art, Product, and BOD to identify risks and improve product quality.
Surface quality risks early in the development cycle rather than only at the end of the process.
Test Platform Development: Research and implement test platforms for multi-platform game testing, including device farms, compatibility testing, build distribution, test case management, bug tracking, and test reporting dashboards.
Automation and AI Testing: Build automation testing strategy and integrate AI to cover 30–50% of suitable test cases. Define what to automate versus keep manual or exploratory, and partner with Tech and AI teams to integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines.
Quality Metrics: Define and monitor QA metrics, including bug rate, escaped bugs, test coverage, productivity, workload, and release quality.
Team Performance Management: Drive QA team performance and support team members’ growth through clear development and career progression paths.
7+ years of experience in QA/QC, including experience leading QA teams in game studios, mobile apps, web platforms, or product companies.
Strong experience in building and improving QA processes, test plans, regression testing, release flows, and bug tracking systems.
Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop QA teams, with strong people management and performance management skills.
Solid understanding of mobile, web, and game testing, including gameplay, ads, IAP, analytics, performance, and automation testing concepts.
Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Tech, Game Design, Art, and stakeholders in fast-paced environments.
Data-driven mindset with the ability to use QA metrics to improve product quality and team efficiency.
AI-first mindset — using AI to generate test cases, analyze bugs, or support automation.
Nice to have:
Previous experience as a QA Lead/Manager in a game studio
Hands-on experience with automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, device farms, and QA management platforms
Familiarity with Firebase, AppsFlyer/Adjust, AdMob/AppLovin, or similar game/mobile ecosystems
