    Our client's Game Education (EDU) is built on the base game, with additional features aimed to empower educators to engage and teach using the game. The EDU Quality (QA) team has 3 primary support roles:
    1. Support client architecture - validating new EDU features during development, testing how new features implemented by the Bedrock Minecraft team overlap with EDU features, and identifying regressions or conflicts with older features.
    2. Support content team - EDU content developers create new worlds for download. The QA team helps validate compliance, functionality, and user experience for the content team.
    3. Collaborate with EDU Support - The Support team monitors incoming tickets, as well as social media platforms to help identify and prioritize issues from customers.

    • This candidate will not own features or create test plans, but should be able to work with STEs to help them assess risks and gain coverage confidence in their areas
    • While some test experience is expected, this is a large game - some experience with the game is heavily preferred.
    • Experience in teaching or in the education field would also carry weight for a candidate.
    • The EDU team works on a lot of features; agility and adaptability are preferred over area experts.
    Candidate Must Haves:
