What You’ll Do 

Reporting into the Live Ops QA Manager, you will be responsible for supporting the quality efforts of Star Trek Fleet Command’s Live Operations team, known as a Live Ops pod. You will collaborate with both internal and external (offshore) teams to ensure the smooth delivery of Live Ops releases, including events, bundles, and backend configurations, from planning through to launch. You will help maintain the highest quality standards through a combination of robust tools, communication, and disciplined processes.

As a key contributor to the culture of quality within Scopely, you will help shape how Live Ops functions, evolves, and optimises across cadence, coverage, and efficiency, helping us iterate faster without compromising on stability or player experience. 

• Engage early in the Live Ops cycle during event briefs, configuration reviews, and pre-production syncs to highlight testing tool or cheat needs, configuration risks, and quality considerations before launch
• Generate clear, structured test plans that define scope, coverage, and resource needs for Live Ops releases such as events, offers, and backend changes
• Drive the creation, maintenance, and ownership of Live Ops specific test suites and test cases, ensuring alignment with upcoming release cadences and priorities
• Liaise and coordinate with offshore QA teams, clearly communicating expectations, priorities, and event specific testing criteria while monitoring execution and results
• Lead by example through hands on testing of live events, bundles, and time sensitive releases, owning and maintaining quality accountability for your Live Ops pod’s output
• Review and train external test partners to uphold Scopely QA standards, maintaining a clear and prioritized JIRA backlog in coordination with the Cluster QA Lead
• Keep the Live Ops and Cluster leadership teams informed on milestone progression, blockers, and key risks throughout each release cycle
• Participate actively in Live Ops and QA ceremonies to stay aligned with upcoming schedules, learnings, and performance insights
• Ensure that Live Ops deliverables meet the highest quality expectations in terms of defect mitigation and user experience, and take holistic ownership for their impact on the live environment
• Collaborate closely with Customer Support, Release Management, and the Live Cluster to investigate and resolve live issues quickly, documenting learnings and preventing future recurrences
• Monitor live game health following each release, tracking ANRs, crash rates, and error trends using tools such as Datadog, Google Play Console, and Apple Connect
• Support onboarding and mentoring of external or embedded testers within your Live Ops pod
• Work with the Cluster QA Manager and QA Director to align processes across pods and clusters, sharing learnings and driving consistency
• Identify opportunities for test automation within Live Ops workflows to improve coverage and speed of verification
• Participate in different types of reviews to provide and receive feedback, contributing to both your growth and your peers’ development
• Support the Cluster QA Manager in achieving team goals by tracking and owning KPOs and OKRs related to Live Ops quality metrics
• Champion a shift left mindset, identifying and mitigating issues earlier in the Live Ops production pipeline
• Partner with the Live Ops Manager and Product Managers to understand the scope of configuration or data changes and their potential impact on connected systems and features

What We’re Looking For 

• Strong verbal and written communication with excellent attention to detail
• Strong time management, accountability, and organisational skills
• Ability to negotiate and ensure your message is heard while balancing business needs and priorities
• Proactive, enthusiastic, and self-motivated
• Comfortable with an agile setup and able to manage coverage across multiple high-profile releases with strict deadlines
• Strong commercial awareness and understanding of business priorities and goals
• Exceptional reporting capabilities
• Extensive knowledge of JIRA and similar bug tracking systems

Bonus Points 

• Background in automation testing
