Nintendo is looking for a quality control tester fluent in Dutch
Nintendo's European subsidiary has opened a selection process to fill a position for a quality assurance tester. The position, which is temporary, will be physically located at the company's facilities in German territory. A fundamental requirement is to handle Dutch at a native level, as an essential part of the job involves supervising how games are adapted to that market. 🎮
What the QA Tester role at Nintendo entails
The person who gets the job will have to execute meticulous tests on all kinds of software and hardware peripherals to identify faults. Their main task is to detect, document accurately, and then confirm that the errors found are resolved. They must analyze titles to find issues with translation, gameplay fluency, audio, and overall performance.
Key functions of the position:- Test games in development to find defects and bugs.
- Write detailed and clear reports in English about the problems detected.
- Verify that the reported errors are properly fixed in subsequent versions.
The ideal candidate probably fantasizes about their first serious report being about an icon stuck in a texture, so they can note 'Mario can't get out of the pipe' with the seriousness that a fault of that caliber requires.
Profile and required conditions to apply
In addition to native or bilingual Dutch, fluent English is essential to collaborate with globally distributed teams. Previous experience in quality assurance roles within the video game sector will be appreciated, although it is not a factor that automatically disqualifies those who lack it.
Personal characteristics and knowledge sought:- Be meticulous and have a great analytical capacity.
- Be an active gamer and know Nintendo's products, history, and philosophy.
- Be able to follow established test procedures and maintain exceptional attention to detail.
An opportunity at the heart of the industry
This vacancy represents a tangible opportunity to start working at one of the most iconic interactive entertainment companies. The position requires passion for video games, a keen nose for hunting bugs, and the specific linguistic skill to ensure that Dutch-speaking players receive a perfect experience. It is a job where precision and cultural knowledge are as important as love for the sector. 🕹️
