As a Junior QA Tester at Aesir Interactive, you will support the quality of our games throughout development and help us deliver stable, polished, and memorable player experiences. This is a hands-on entry point into professional game development, where your attention to detail, curiosity, communication skills, and player mindset directly contribute to the final quality of our games. You will work closely with QA, design, production, art, and development teams, learning how professional game QA fits into the full development lifecycle. From testing new features and checking daily builds to reporting bugs, verifying fixes, and sharing structured feedback, you will gain insight into how games are built, improved, and prepared for release. This is an on-site role at our Munich studio.
The kind of stuff you`ll be doing:
Test game features, content, builds, and systems across PC, console, and supported devices.
Execute black box, functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory tests based on provided test plans and priorities.
Support daily smoke tests and regular build checks in the game engine and on target platforms.
Find, document, and track bugs with clear reproduction steps, expected results, actual results, screenshots, videos, and relevant build information.
Verify bug fixes and help ensure that issues do not reappear in later builds.
Work with Jira or similar bug tracking tools to document, update, and follow up on issues.
Help maintain test cases, checklists, and QA documentation.
Provide structured feedback on gameplay, usability, balancing, stability, and overall player experience.
Communicate test results clearly, share findings with confidence, and escalate blockers, risks, or recurring issues early.
Collaborate with developers, designers, producers, and other QA team members to better understand features and improve game quality.
Gain hands-on experience with professional QA workflows, development builds, platform testing, and production milestones.
Learn and apply QA best practices, testing methods, and platform-specific requirements.
Stay curious about games, player experience, and the evolving video game market.

A genuine passion for games and a deep interest in how they are made, you want to be part of building them, not just playing them.
