We're looking for an experienced and motivated professional to join our Witcher 4 QA team as an Open World QA Analyst, with a strong focus on Community systems. In this role, you鈥檒l be primarily responsible for testing and validating the behaviors, interactions, and overall quality of NPC communities across the open world - ensuring they feel alive, coherent, and reactive within a dynamic game environment.
If you have a solid background in QA and enjoy working with complex systems (especially around AI behaviors, crowds and emergent interactions) and you鈥檙e passionate about creating believable, immersive worlds - this role is for you.
We believe diverse voices make for better games. If you're someone who thrives on cross-team collaboration, enjoys solving complex systemic challenges, and cares deeply about how players experience living, breathing communities within the open world,聽 we鈥檇 love to hear from you.
Your Responsibilities
-
Develop QA test plans and strategies with a strong focus on Community systems and hubs, including NPC behaviors, daily routines, social interactions, and systemic reactivity within the open world.
-
Write and maintain test cases and checklists covering NPC communities, crowd dynamics, behavioral states, schedule consistency, and interactions with players, quests, and environmental conditions.
-
Create, organize, and maintain clear documentation to support team-wide knowledge sharing - including NPC/system behaviors, edge cases, regression reports, and cross-system dependencies.
-
Collaborate closely with AI, world design, level design, and technical teams to verify correct implementation of NPC logic, community behaviors, and their interactions with streaming, quest states, and regional systems.
-
Conduct thorough testing of emergent gameplay scenarios, including how NPCs react to player actions, disruptions (e.g. combat, time changes), and transitions such as save/load, fast travel, and streaming boundaries.
-
Identify, debug, and report issues related to NPC logic, behavior consistency, state persistence, and systemic interactions, track resolutions, and verify fixes.
-
Analyze data and assess risks related to scalability, performance, and stability of NPC systems, especially in high-density areas and complex gameplay states.
-
Provide actionable, constructive feedback on believability, readability, and consistency of NPC communities, helping ensure that hubs feel alive, reactive, and coherent within the game world.
-
Perform hardware-focused testing to ensure stable performance of community systems, including crowd density, AI processing, and streaming behavior across platforms.
