Job description

We are a crowdfunded company and have a dedicated and enthusiastic community of backers who are helping us create the “Best Damn Space Sim Ever”. We want to build the best we can deliver and we believe wholeheartedly in the value of exceptional diverse talent.

You will get a chance to work directly with the internal Localization department and execute our LQA needed to test our games before release to our international audiences. The role goes beyond just bug hunting – you will be our champion of quality standards & collaborate with different teams to ensure our content meets our benchmarks for every language. Our goal has always been to deliver the best quality – your support will directly impact the way our content is presented for each locale. 

Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games creates cutting-edge videogames that defy expectations. We’re currently developing Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, a cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. Join us as we break boundaries and make videogame history.
