Scopely is looking for a QA Analyst to join our Monopoly Go! team in Barcelona.

Monopoly GO! is our new casual game and a key franchise that has just become one of Scopely's largest games enjoyed by millions of players. The team is based in Europe and the US, and works every day to create captivating new experiences for our players.

Reporting to your Vertical Group QA Lead of Live Minigames, you will play a vital role in upholding quality standards within one of Monopoly Go's tightly integrated teams, known as a Pod. Collaborating with both internal and external partners, you'll support regular feature and content releases, from initial concept through to post-release support, ensuring that the highest quality is maintained throughout.

As a key advocate for quality at Scopely, you will help shape our ongoing commitment to excellence.

• Ensure your pod's contributions to each release meet the highest standard of quality, focusing on both defect prevention and overall user experience, while also maintaining a broad, holistic view of release quality across the wider team
• Develop clear and comprehensive test plans that define scope of coverage, accurate time estimates, resourcing needs, tooling / cheat needs, and any wider requirements to support testing from concept through to release
• Drive the creation, upkeep, and execution of test suites and cases tailored to your pod's specific needs and evolving scope
• Support and adopt AI-driven QA initiatives, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, coverage, and reporting
• Maintain a clean and prioritized bug database in alignment with your pod's work
• Lead the onboarding of external embedded QA resources into your pod, ensuring they are set up for success and aligned with internal processes, while fostering a strong working relationship to remain aligned on priorities at all times
• Take ownership of your pod's quality output by leading through example, performing hands-on testing, and ensuring accountability at all stages of development
• Raise pre-production quality concerns by reviewing briefs and design documents, championing a 'shift left' attitude
• Facilitate pod-specific playtests to gather broader feedback, track issues effectively, and ensure follow-up actions are taken where needed
• Collaborate with Customer Support and the Live & Release teams to investigate live issues, advocating for timely resolutions while addressing root causes to prevent recurrence
• Adhere to team-wide QA governance and best practices, ensuring full alignment with the project's QA lifecycle from inception through post-release support
• Actively participate in POD and QA team ceremonies, providing feedback and staying aligned with team strategies and direction
• Collaborate closely with developers to understand changes in scope and assess cross-functional impacts that may require additional quality control
• Monitor holistic app health metrics such as ANRs and crash rates, particularly following your pod's contributions to a release, and act accordingly to mitigate issues
• Embody and promote Scopely's core tenets through your actions, communication, and leadership
