Job Description

The Test team at Bungie has an equal seat at the table with each of the other game development disciplines.

To accomplish this, our Test Engineers build an in-depth understanding of the features they are responsible for and use that knowledge to more effectively integrate test practices and methodologies within their development teams. This gives us the greatest potential to improve the quality of our games while also helping keep our teams lean, flexible, and healthy.

The Live team develops features and quality-of-life updates that ensure a stable and fun experience for players, including larger-scale events that keep players engaged and happy within the Destiny universe.

Test Engineers on the Live team should be comfortable with rapid iteration cycles which reward knowledge across many game systems. Test Engineers will also integrate with Design, Art, Engineering to help build features that respond to and satisfy player needs.
