Greetings forumites, fans and rebels seeking autonomy!

Since we had such good results the last time I posted a job application for testers on the forums, I thought why the hell not this time again. We have now opened our gates for the masses and are looking for people with exceptional skill to join our ranks in the QA department. See below to view the add, and follow the attached link that will take you to our job site.
____________________________________________________________________________​

We want you for QA! Right now, you have the opportunity to let us know if you think that you would be a good fit for the Quality Assurance team at Paradox Development Studio!

As a QA tester at Paradox, you will help us deliver the best possible products by testing all our Grand Strategy titles in various stages of development. We work closely with the rest of the development team, testing every aspect of the game individually as well as making sure that the game is ready for milestone delivery.

Responsibilities
  • Testing games according to instructions.​
  • Writing bug reports.​
  • Providing input on game design, when requested.​
Requirements
  • Experience with game/software Quality Assurance​
  • A game development education​
  • Experience with bug reporting tools such as Mantis or Jira​
  • Deep understanding of Paradox Development Studio games such as Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings and Hearts of Iron. (Since our games are very complex, we prefer if you can get into them right away)​
  • Fluent in English (spoken and written)​
  • Knowledge in any of the languages we do localisation in is considered an advantage: German, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian or French​
Furthermore, our ideal candidate has a strong passion for testing and see themselves within the profession for a long time. Since you will work closely with other testers as well as people from other parts of the development team, we would like you to be good at working with other people - but also independently. Sometimes it will be up to you to take initiative and decide things for yourself. Finally, you should have an analytic mindset and strong attention to details.

Practical information
Scope: Full time and permanent. If we think that you have what we are looking for, we will contact you as soon as we have an available spot in the team.
Reports to: The QA Manager
Location: This position is based in Stockholm, Sweden and unfortunately we are not able to offer any relocation packages at this moment.

If you think that this description matches your background, we highly encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we will interview candidates continuously for this position. In your application, please show us why your previous experiences and skills would work for this role and why you are interested in working at Paradox. If you don't match all the requirements, please demonstrate how your passion, attitude and interest in Paradox might compensate for this.
____________________________________________________________________________​

We are also looking for an Associate QA Manager. Links can be found below:

Link #1: Quality Assurance Tester
Link #2: Associate QA Manager

Let me know if you have any questions by posting them here, or send me a PM and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I am able. Looking forward to hearing from you all, and good luck!

PS. If you do apply to any of the positions and are an forumite, please state that you saw the post on the forum and provide us with your forum tag. I am sure we missed/discarded a lot of applications from you all since we didn't have all the information the last time I posted this kind of thread.

Best Regards,

Same here . You don't Pick up 17 years olds Do you Paradox? turning 18 in march . i Speak Fluent Swedish I cant write it to well .

I'm afraid the age limit is 18 :confused:

But there will be other opportunities in the future I am sure!
 
I'm more interested in your programmer job application. I'm actually working on the kattis path finding problem but can i apply for both of them ?

Don't see why you cant apply for both.. but if you really want to work as a programmer, entering through QA is not the way.

Many see QA as a stepping stone, not at Paradox, so we are quite strict when culling the applicants that we see would want to do something else within x amount of time.
