About this role
Role Overview
We are looking for an SDET with hands-on gaming industry experience and foundational AI/ML
understanding who can serve as the bridge between traditional QA engineering and AI-powered testing,
tooling, and gameplay use cases. This person will work directly with PeopleFun’s technology leadership
to translate proposed AI use cases into working prototypes and production-ready implementations within
their Unity environment.
Key Responsibilities
• Collaborate with AI Tech Head to scope, design, and build AI use cases proposed during the
pitch phase
• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks for Unity-based mobile games, incorporating
AI-assisted testing methodologies
• Prototype AI/ML integrations within the Unity pipeline (e.g., automated playtesting, intelligent bug
detection, procedural content validation)
• Build tooling that leverages LLMs or lightweight ML models to accelerate QA, testing, and
development workflows
• Write and maintain test scripts (unit, integration, regression) with an AI-augmented approach
• Work within CI/CD pipelines to integrate AI-driven test automation into the client’s release
cadence
• Document AI use case implementations, technical architecture decisions, and testing strategies
for the client’s internal teams
• Act as iXie’s on-ground AI specialist, maintaining high visibility and trust with the client
Required Qualifications
• 3–6 years of experience as an SDET or QA Automation Engineer
• Demonstrated experience in the gaming industry, preferably in mobile gaming
• Proficiency with Unity (C# scripting, Unity Test Framework, Editor tooling)
• Foundational understanding of AI/ML concepts: prompt engineering, model inference, API
integration with LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
• Experience with at least one test automation framework (Selenium, Appium, Pytest, NUnit, or
equivalent)
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
• Strong programming skills in C# and/or Python
• Ability to work autonomously in a client-embedded model with minimal supervision
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience building or integrating AI-powered tools in game development workflows
• Familiarity with ML frameworks (TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, ML-Agents) within Unity
• Prior experience in outsourced/services engagement models
• Knowledge of mobile game performance testing and device farm setups
• Good to have experience with generative AI applications (NPC behavior, procedural content,
automated dialogue testing)
