Beat Games is seeking a Head of Quality Assurance to own and evolve the quality strategy across all our products. This is a senior leadership role. You won't manage people directly but will work with a team of vendors where you will own the partnership, set the technical direction, build the frameworks, define the standards, and influence teams across the studio to ship high-quality, reliable products at scale. You'll be the person who ensures our players experience Beat Games titles at the level of polish and reliability they deserve — across platforms, updates, and live-service content drops.
