The role

Beat Games is seeking a Head of Quality Assurance to own and evolve the quality strategy across all our products. This is a senior leadership role. You won't manage people directly but will work with a team of vendors where you will own the partnership, set the technical direction, build the frameworks, define the standards, and influence teams across the studio to ship high-quality, reliable products at scale. You'll be the person who ensures our players experience Beat Games titles at the level of polish and reliability they deserve - across platforms, updates, and live-service content drops.

Quality Strategy & Vision:
Define and own the studio-wide QA strategy, encompassing functional testing, performance, compatibility, certification, and live-service quality
Establish quality gates, release criteria, and risk frameworks that scale across multiple content updates
Drive a quality-first culture across the studio, influencing engineering, design, art, audio, and production teams
Technical Leadership:
Advise and evolve the test automation infrastructure for VR-specific challenges in collaboration with the engineering team (tracking, haptics, latency, spatial audio, platform certification)
Influence the design of CI/CD-integrated testing pipelines that catch regressions early and reduce iteration time
Evaluate and adopt emerging tools, including AI-assisted testing approaches, to multiply team effectiveness
Own platform certification processes (Meta Quest, Steam) and maintain strong relationships with platform partners
Process & Frameworks:
Build scalable QA processes for live-service operations - DLC, seasonal content, events, and ongoing game updates
Develop risk-based testing approaches that prioritize coverage where player impact is highest
Create and maintain quality metrics and dashboards that provide actionable visibility to studio leadership
Establish regression testing strategies that balance thoroughness with release velocity
Cross-Functional Influence:
Partner with engineering leads to embed quality practices into the development workflow (shift-left testing, TDD adoption)
Collaborate with production to integrate quality milestones into project planning and sprint cadences
Work with Community and Player Support teams to close the loop between player-reported issues and systemic improvements
Coordinate with Meta's broader Reality Labs QA and platform teams to leverage shared infrastructure and best practices
People and Culture:
Establish technical excellence standards for our vendor partners
Drive QA strategy using vendors and maintaining high standards in required roles and competencies
Champion knowledge sharing across the studio and broader Meta QA community
