Firesquid is an indie publisher based in Paris. Our vision is to spark joy in people playing and making games. Firesquid is the sister-company focusing on publishing indie strategy games which aim at revisiting their genre.
We have a modern full-remote policy : the team can freely choose their location.
We have a diverse and creative team, and we have a solid and proven experience in remote working, allowing us to stay proficient with a good life / work balance. Our goal is to be inclusive and to have a safe working environment.

As a Q/A Intern you will work closely with the publishing production team and sometimes external partners. You will be mentored by our main QA tester working on a broad diversity of strategy game projects. You will have a careful eye for details and explore every part of the games in order to spot bugs or make sure that everything is working as intended. You will create tickets reporting bugs to the development team, make sure that fixes are correctly applied and make reports to the leads regarding the project's states. In this internship, you will work as a team with another QA tester that will help you develop your tester skills.
This internship will help you become a better QA tester inside a publishing team, understand the pipeline of game production, assess the state of builds before their public release, collaborate with a range of talented people and develop the professional skills essential to work in the video game industry.

It will also offer you the opportunity to establish a professional methodology on remote works and written communication which is critical for a successful collaboration within your own team and the development studio you'll be working with.
