Who is SkyBox Labs?

Recognized as one of BC's Top Employers (2025), SkyBox Labs is a game development studio that works on some of the world’s most iconic games. The studio is currently co-developing Halo Infinite, working on projects in the Minecraft universe, supporting the dev team at Bungie on Destiny, supporting development of Fallout 76, and working on original IP. Since our inception in 2011, SkyBox Labs has evolved from a group of 8 people to a team of over 250+ Engineers, Artists, Animators, Designers, Producers, and more! Join us in our Burnaby studio, or have the opportunity to work remotely within Canada for certain designated projects.

Skybox Labs is looking for a QA Tester to join our Minecraft team on a 12-14 month contract to cover a maternity leave. This is a great opportunity to work on one of the biggest game franchises in the world in a close-knit, collaborative team environment.

• Collaborate with developers and external teams to gather builds, check requests, and ensure smooth testing workflows
• Adapt to occasional on-the-fly requests while handling daily, repetitive build checks

• At least 1 year of experience in game QA testing, preferably on mobile (iOS, Android, Windows)
• Strong bug writing and problem-solving skills
• Familiarity with bug tracking software (Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar)
• Good technical understanding of game development workflows and build pipelines
• Self-starter with strong communication and collaboration skills
• Comfortable working in a hybrid and small, independent team setting
• Eager to learn, adaptable, and curious




Nice-to-Haves:

• Mandarin language (written and/or verbal)

And here is why we think you'll love working at SkyBox Labs:

• Comprehensive health benefits
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements: leverage our beautiful studio spaces as needed, and use our $400 work-from-home allowance to make your home office comfortable.
• Take care of your mental health with our Employee Assistance Program and our free gym at our Burnaby Studio.
• We relentlessly support your growth and development! Level up your C++ skills at SkyBox University, explore other disciplines through our Guild Program, and expand your game dev knowledge with Lunch & Learns. You’ll join a culture of empowerment, collaboration, and personal growth.
• Social events! Have fun with the team at trivia nights, karaoke nights, movie nights, and various group activities. Join our soccer team, game jams, or a board game sesh after work. You name it, we’ve got it!
• Get involved with our diverse community through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that champion Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives and promote a supportive environment.
• You’ll contribute to industry-leading titles, from legendary AAA franchises to Original IP.
