Job description
Aghanim is an integrated commerce, liveops automation, community engagement, and payments platform for video games.
Mobile games have traditionally depended on app stores for distribution, payments, and player relationships. We believe there is a better way.

Our team brings together people across Los Angeles, New York, Seoul, Beijing, London, Lisbon, Belgrade and other locations around the globe, with deep expertise in gaming, fintech and technology.

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer with a strong focus on automation to ensure the reliability and quality of our game hub platform. You will own test strategy and automation for a mobile-first product that combines e-commerce, gamification, and gaming mechanics. The role involves testing complex user journeys, experimentation features, and payment flows where reliability and quality are critical.
