About Colonist

We're building the biggest digital board game platform on the internet. Last year, our players spent 3,037 years playing 60 million games on our Settlers of Catan alternative. We're a fully remote, asynchronous team spread across multiple continents, focused on crafting extremely polished digital board games that people truly love.

About The Role

You'll own product quality for a game played by millions, and you'll do it by shipping fixes, not just filing tickets. Most QA roles stop at "I found the problem." This one doesn't. Your job is to make sure the product experience feels right across web, mobile, and Discord, catching what's broken, what's confusing, and what shouldn't have shipped the way it did.

You Will

Fix quality issues directly in the codebase

Drive fixes for larger issues end-to-end

Run weekly QA sessions on dev and staging builds on a fixed release cycle, with post-release production checks

Test PRs in a fast pace - happy path, edge cases, cross-platform - and approve or request changes with clear reasoning

Monitor Discord bug channels, validate player reports, and convert confirmed issues into structured tickets

Catch things that aren't bugs but are wrong: bad UX, illogical behavior, things that shouldn't have shipped the way they did

Ensure every significant change is tested across web, mobile, and Discord

Find gaps in the QA process proactively - propose fixes, introduce tools, document and roll out improvements without waiting to be asked

You Are

Experienced with full-cycle QA: test planning, execution, reporting, and follow-through

Sharp on detail and strong on judgment, you know when something is a bug and when it's a product problem

Comfortable in the codebase, enough to open a PR for smaller fixes yourself without blocking on engineering

Comfortable across platforms: web, mobile, Discord, and tools like GitHub, Linear, and BrowserStack
