About the role
Vinci Games (YC S22) is a Y Combinator–backed VR studio building the next generation of multiplayer VR experiences. Our latest title, Ruffnauts, is one the fastest-growing free-to-play release of 2025 on Meta Quest, combining chaotic creature catching, exploration, and Gorilla Tag–style locomotion into a groundbreaking social VR adventure.
We’re hiring our first dedicated QA Tester & Community Relations Specialist for a 3-month contract (with potential extension). This is a mission-critical role: you’ll not only be responsible for catching bugs and ensuring build quality, but also for shaping the entire QA pipeline that powers one of the fastest-growing VR games in the world.
What You’ll Do
Quality Assurance (Primary Focus)
- Establish and own Ruffnauts’ QA workflow, building the foundation for how we test, validate, and ship new builds.
- Independently execute and document test cases across Quest builds, with a special focus on multiplayer interactions, physics quirks, and Gorilla Tag–style locomotion.
- Identify, reproduce, and log bugs with detailed repro steps, severity levels, and screenshots/video evidence using Jira.
- Collaborate directly with engineers, designers, and producers to ensure the most critical bugs are prioritized and fixed quickly.
- Run structured playtests with our Discord community (20–100 testers), collect feedback, and transform player reports into actionable QA insights.
- Act as the “gatekeeper” for every build release, ensuring gameplay, performance, and stability meet internal quality standards before going live.
