CONTRACT ROLE
Are you passionate about classic games and fluent in Japanese? Do you have a keen eye for detail and a love for tackling unique challenges? We want you to join our Emulation team!
As a Dev QA, Japanese Specialist, you'll be responsible for writing trophy sets in both Japanese and English for titles that were originally only released in Japan. Since these games are exclusive to Japanese markets, there won't be any English translations available, so you'll need to fully understand and play through the games in Japanese to create accurate trophy sets.
In this role, you'll:
- Write trophy sets for Japanese-only titles, ensuring accuracy in both Japanese and English.
- Perform Platinum runs to confirm trophies are properly implemented on all Japanese SKUs.
- Help with other Dev QA tasks, including confirmation testing, capturing screenshots/videos, and assisting with other requests as they come up.
- What We're Looking For:
- Fluent in Japanese, both reading and writing.
- A passion for classic games and a deep understanding of them.
- A detail-oriented, persistent mindset—willing to play through a game multiple times to ensure everything is perfect!
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to work autonomously as part of our fully remote team.
If you’re excited about the opportunity to work on classic games and contribute to a passionate team, apply today!
