QA Internship – Games studio – Gram Games

London, UK

Employment Type: Internship

Posted 4 months, 1 week ago

Gram Games is the studio behind some of the most popular titles like 1010! , Six! and Merge Dragons! We do things differently here: we work in small self-managing teams, enabling you to have an incredible amount of ownership, autonomy and impact. We’ll never ask you to abandon your craft and just focus on managing others or workload.

At Gram everyone is expected to have a razor-sharp focus on what creates tangible impact: impact on their team, impact on their work environment and impact on the overall company strategy. If you are motivated by autonomy, constant improvement, collaboration and the sense of belonging, this is the job for you.

As a QA Intern, you’ll act like an information sponge, shadowing members of the QA team, eager to learn everything you possibly can about the way QA is conducted at Gram. You’ll receive guidance and mentorship from and work closely with a Lead QA Manager, who’ll assign you work and help guide you into the fascinating world of embedded game QA!
