QA Engineer (Casual Games) Kyiv in PlayWorks

Here at PlayWorks we deliver fun, high-quality games and apps direct to Smart TVs everywhere. PlayWorks is a pioneering Post App Store Games company with games on Instant Messaging apps and Connected TV devices. We have hundreds of games deployed with various partners such as Facebook, Samsung, LG, Comcast, Dish, etc. We are a UK-owned company with offices in London, Tel-Aviv, and Kyiv.

Unlike most quality assurance engineers that test the same functionalities every day, our testers never get bored and are constantly challenged to bring the best products to users. We have lots of games, so our job is fun, interesting, and requires creativity and not a standard approach. Your ideas are always welcome! Maybe, it will be you who will advise some new game that will be played by thousands of people!

We are looking for a detail-oriented and motivated QA Specialist to join our team and contribute to the quality assurance of our gaming products.

If you are passionate about games and have a keen eye for detail, this could be the perfect role for you.

Responsibilities:

• Test games, portals, and in-game features across multiple devices and platforms.
• Verify feature integration and identify logical dependencies between components.
• Collaborate with developers and designers to clarify requirements and ensure smooth implementation.
• Write, update, and maintain detailed test documentation.
• Reproduce and document defects with clear steps, logs, and screenshots.
• Configure environments for testing (including Smart TV or emulator setup).
• Participate in feature review meetings and contribute to early bug prevention.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience in Manual QA, preferably in games or interactive media.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
• Experience communicating directly with developers and providing structured feedback.
• Ability to read and understand basic code (XML, JSON, HTML or similar).
• Experience with bug-tracking tools (JIRA, Trello, etc.).
• Solid understanding of software testing fundamentals and QA methodologies.
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality results.
• Passion for gaming and curiosity about game mechanics.
• Intermediate+ English for communication with international teams.

Nice to Have:

• Experience testing on Smart TV, Roku, FireTV, Samsung etc.
• Basic understanding of test automation tools or scripting.
• Prior experience in the gaming industry or with CTV platforms.

Bonus points if you can:

• Find structure in chaos: turn limited specs, last-minute builds, and scattered dev notes into clear, reproducible test cases.
• Balance diplomacy and persistence to keep quality at the center of delivery.

What We Offer:

Engaging work in the gaming and interactive entertainment industry.
Competitive benefits package including health insurance, paid sick leave and vacation days
