Dev QA Engineer (Embedded / Game Development) at Aspire Agency Global Inc.

Job Description

We are building a Dev QA capability in Prince Edward Island to support modern game development through embedded teams. This is not traditional QA or end-of-line testing. This role focuses on working inside development workflows, supporting feature development as it happens rather than testing after completion.

Responsibilities include:

• working alongside developers, designers, and production teams 
• supporting QA within development cycles (shift-left testing)
• identifying issues early and thinking in systems, not just bugs
• assisting with automation efforts (UI, API, backend where applicable) 
• exposure to CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
• validating live game systems such as events, economies, and player flows

Qualifications

We are looking for individuals who:

• have a strong technical mindset and curiosity for how systems work
• are interested in development workflows, automation, or scripting 
• are comfortable collaborating in team environments (Agile, standups, etc.)
• are proactive and willing to ask questions, flag issues, and learn quickly

Bonus experience includes:

• Unity or Unreal Engine
• scripting (Python, JavaScript, etc.)
• understanding of live games, events, or player systems
• exposure to APIs, backend systems, or automation tools
• Game industry experience is a plus, but not required for the right candidate.

Other

PEI-based candidates preferred. Flexible hours available depending on availability. This role is designed for individuals who want to grow into modern Dev QA and work directly with game development teams.
