As a Lead Tools Tester at Infinity Ward, you will maintain the stability of our proprietary toolset through leading a group of testers responsible for direct testing, monitoring tool development, and assisting engineers investigating defects. You will coordinate coverage of the tool set and ensure we are emulating a wide variety of developer workflows. You will work closely with the production and engineering teams to help monitor changes and features as they are being developed, keeping test plans up to date and reacting to new changes as soon as they are available. As changes are deployed to the studio, you will be the first point of contact for support, ensuring rollouts are smooth and new issues are identified and fixed quickly. By ensuring our tools maintain a healthy state, and thus content creators are able to work undisrupted by development, you will have a strong positive impact on the quality of our next title.

Coordinate and lead a team of testers focused on identifying issues with our tools
Assist with the creation of documentation and training videos when new features call for additional materials
Manage and assist with maintaining the issue tracking database, including routing issues, analyzing bug quality coming from the team, and raising critical issues visibility.

Demonstrate technical expertise, confidence, initiative and ownership of development tools and workflows
Become an expert on specific pipelines within our development environment
Develop and maintain test plans and supporting documentation
Interface with engineering teams to test new features and regress fixes made to the tools
Be the first to provide user feedback on new additions and guide final implementation
As new functionality is deployed, be the first point of contact to resolve issues and collect feedback
