Desired Qualifications

• Experience with live-service or competitive games, especially those with frequent content updates.
• Familiarity with TFT-specific systems such as combat simulation, traits, augments, item systems, or set-based content pipelines.
• Experience with performance testing, soak testing, or long-running stability validation.
• Prior experience acting as a quality owner for a major system or product area.

What Success Looks Like

• TFT teams proactively build testable systems because quality expectations are clear and well-supported.
• Automated testing catches regressions in gameplay, data, and live-service systems before they reach players.
• Release confidence increases even as TFT’s complexity and content cadence grow.
• Quality discussions are informed by trusted data and clear risk assessment, not gut feel.
• Other SDETs and engineers level up through your mentorship and technical leadership.
• For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!
