Rebellion is seeking a highly skilled Senior QA Analyst to join our world-class quality assurance team.

As a stalwart of the UK games industry for over 30 years, Rebellion offers an environment where your technical expertise directly impacts millions of players worldwide. Whether you are based in our riverside Oxford HQ or our creative studio in Warwick, you will be part of a team that values independence, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence.
