Since May 2021, we embarked on a journey to start Haven Studios with a small team and big ambitions. Our goal was to build a studio where we could make the kind of games we’ve always wanted to create – and games we’ve longed to play. We’ve made amazing progress in a short time thanks to our talented, passionate team and their exceptional contributions. We established a culture at Haven grounded in kindness, adaptability and courage that unlocks creativity.

Haven joined the PlayStation Studios family in 2022, and we are on track to build an exclusive new IP for Playstation; a AAA multiplayer experience with a vision to build a systemic and evolving world focused on freedom, thrill, and playfulness that will keep players entertained and engaged for years and grow the first Sony game development team in Canada.

We are looking for multiple highly experienced Video game DevQA to join the Haven Interactive Studios project team. Working closely with the QA project manager and the different team producers, you will help deploy our QA strategy as well as build and manage test plans, test cases, and test execution. As a member of our internal QA team, we need someone who can handle multiple tasks at the same time, as well as being able to cooperate in multi-disciplinary teams. Communication and cooperation are key to this position, as you will need to follow up with multiple tech and dev teams on the issues that need to be tested.

At Haven, we strongly believe in automated testing; as such, you will have the opportunity to suggest and improve procedures, processes, tools, and automation processes to help solidify our QA pipeline. This position is Hybrid, with regular studio presence, thus making this position available for people in or around the city of Montreal.
