Join Our Team as a Game / Simulation Tester at Beyond Sports

Are you passionate about sports, gaming, and making sure players get the best possible experience? At Beyond Sports, we don’t just visualize sports, we reinvent how fans experience them. Together with partners like NFL, NHL, FIFA, and Disney, we push the boundaries of real-time sports data, 3D graphics, and AI-driven storytelling.

We're looking for a detail-oriented Game / Simulation Tester who loves finding bugs, improving gameplay, and viewing products through the eyes of the player. If you enjoy combining your passion for sports and games with a critical eye for quality, this could be your next move.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Game / Simulation Tester, you'll play an important role in ensuring our sports experiences meet the highest quality standards before they reach users. You'll work closely with developers, designers, product teams, and QA throughout the development cycle.

Your mission is not only to identify issues, but also to help improve the overall player experience by providing thoughtful feedback and suggestions. One day you might be testing the latest gameplay mechanics in a new sports simulation. The next, you could be validating scoring logic, checking sports-specific rules, verifying bug fixes, or ensuring a new UI update feels intuitive and responsive.

You'll spend time performing structured testing as well as exploratory testing, uncovering issues that automated tests alone might miss. Your attention to detail and understanding of how sports should function in-game will help ensure our products feel authentic, polished, and enjoyable.

• Like thinking from the perspective of the player or end user

• Feel comfortable sharing feedback and improvement ideas

• Can work independently while collaborating effectively with others

• Take ownership of your work and maintain a structured approach

• Are curious and proactive about improving products beyond simply reporting bugs

• Experience testing on Windows and/or mobile platforms

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
