About the role
- Competitive Systems Tester living inside the game to ensure balance and quality for a competitive card battler. Collaborating with AI balance outputs, designers, and engineers to enhance gameplay.
Responsibilities
- Play the game aggressively and intelligently
- Testing against AI opponents across difficulty tiers
- Attempting to consistently beat the AI using multiple factions and builds
- Stress-test card interactions and edge cases

- Review and interpret AI balance system outputs
- Make concrete recommendations
- Explore and break non-combat systems
- Log issues clearly with repro steps, expected behavior, and competitive impact
Requirements
- Deep familiarity with competitive card games (digital or tabletop)
- Comfortable reasoning about systems, probabilities, and incentives
- Able to explain why something feels broken, not just that it is
- Persistent and curious enough to hunt edge cases instead of playing “normally”
- Clear communicator who can translate gameplay findings into actionable feedback
- Bonus points if you have worked as a high-level playtester, QA analyst, or balance tester
- Enjoy reading balance dashboards or game telemetry
- Can consistently outplay AI systems rather than just survive them
- Have opinions about what makes a competitive game fair, watchable, and replayable
- Like arguing (politely) about game design when the data backs it up
Benefits
- Fully remote and globally distributed
- Your impact is visible in patches, balance updates, and tournament outcomes
