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

- 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
What We’re Looking For
- Strong verbal / written communication and an excellent attention to detail
- Strong time management, accountability and organisational skills
- Strong negotiation skills with the ability to effectively advocate for your team’s needs, while maintaining a clear understanding of business priorities to ensure balanced, mutually beneficial outcomes
- Proactive, enthusiastic and self-motivated
- Flexible to an agile setup with the ability to multitask, managing coverage for multiple high profile releases with strict deadlines
- A strong commercial awareness with an understanding of business priorities and goals
