We're looking for a detail-oriented professional with some Poker knowledge to help prevent defects using risk-based testing across platforms. You'll start with manual testing while executing automated test suites, working closely with designers, developers, and product teams and developing yourself towards automation.

Collaborate with product managers and developers to derive logical sets of prioritised test suites, balancing immediate manual testing needs with long-term automation goals.
Identify test conditions, then design and author relevant test scenarios and test cases for both manual execution and automated implementation.
Ensure all test scenarios are written with automation-first mindset, using structured formats compatible with automation frameworks.
Manual & Automated Testing
Configure and maintain test environments for both manual and automated test execution.
Execute manual test cases when required, while simultaneously building automated equivalents.
Execute, maintain and eventually Develop automated test scripts using appropriate frameworks and tools.
Implement continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for automated test execution.
Verify bugs through both manual testing and automated regression suites.
Use automation tools and AI-based platforms to optimize and expedite the QA process.
Gradually transition manual test cases to automated scripts, reducing manual testing overhead over time.
Core
Champion the transition from manual to automated testing practices.
Practice effective procedures and maintain correct mindset for both manual and automated testing.
Drive continuous delivery processes through automation implementation.
Develop and maintain healthy collaborative relationships across teams.
What you’ll bring:
Experience with popular Poker variants such as Omaha & Texas Hold'em.
Programming experience in at least one modern language.
Experience with automated testing tools and frameworks.
Knowledge of Software Testing principles and Software Development lifecycle.
Experience with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD concepts.
Agile/Scrum development model awareness.
Understanding of API testing and tools.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to bridge manual and automated testing while building expertise that will position you as a leading automation QA in the gaming industry.
