Join our QA team on Europa Universalis V. We are a small internal QA team working on a live grand strategy game, together with an external QA partner and the developers who build what we test. Not to take testing off everyone's plate, but to make the whole team better at it.

We care a lot about how testing gets done. Test automation, smart triage, dashboards that tell you the truth about a build, and AI in the parts of the workflow where it actually helps. And you will still test the game.

Here the experienced people test, plan and decide. Grow our test automation, and push regression coverage further with every update. Build the dashboards and quality tracking that let anyone see the state of testing from data rather than gut feeling.

Shape the functional QA process with us: test planning, coverage, merge-list curation and backlog health across concurrent update branches. Work closely with our external QA partner so that everyone is testing from a clear, prioritised queue. Represent QA in sign-offs and milestone decisions, arguing severity by player impact rather than category.

Mentor our analysts, onboard new joiners, and help the wider project understand how QA thinks. 5+ years in games QA, including at least one shipped or live title. ~ Hands-on experience with test automation, or a real track record of making manual testing less manual. ~ Experience working with an external QA partner or outsourced test team. ~ There is a testing practice, tool or workflow that exists, or was killed, because of you. ~ Practical use of AI tools in QA,



or solid prompting fundamentals and a genuine appetite to build with them. ~ Fluency with Jira or equivalent, and clear, direct communication in English.

At Paradox

Tinto we work in a small, gameplay focused team, where everyone is part of crafting the player experience and has input on the design of the game. We believe game development should be fun, and we strive for a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere. Your contributions matter to us, to the whole studio, and to the games we make.

We will encourage you to interact with our players directly through social media, our forum, and via streams. Our office is 300m from one of the beaches of Sitges, a picturesque Mediterranean coastal city. Sitges is barely 20 minutes by car or bus from El Prat, Barcelona’s international airport.

It offers 17 beaches along its own coastline, the Costa del Garraf, and an average of 300 days of sun a year, which is hard to argue with for outdoor sports and weekends. The town will also captivate you with its cultural events, Mediterranean food and, of course, excellent Spanish wine. 25 working days of vacation per year (23 per the collective agreement, plus 2 extra) ~ Private health insurance ~ Wellhub subscription: gym access and digital wellbeing apps ~ A private gym at the office, plus optional free yoga and HIIT sessions ~ Free access to the full Paradox catalogue on Steam, over 100 games ~ Scope: Full-time and permanent Reports to: IT, Release & QA Manager #
