The primary focus is to ensure all console titles adhere to the requirements of the respective platform holders (Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo; also known as First parties). Compliance Technicians will go beyond test scripts and use their extensive testing experience to identify and report compliance issues within the games. This work is essential for the smooth submissions and releases of all console titles in SEGA Europe and beyond!

Use testing experience and out-of-the-box thinking to go beyond test scripts, increase testing effectiveness, and find high-risk edge-case scenarios and problems.
Concisely and effectively communicate essential project issues and test results to all key stakeholders within SEGA (weekly/daily reports) as well as First Party groups and external parties where necessary.
Effectively and efficiently identify the severity and risk of project issues in a timely manner.
Apply new Compliance processes and procedures according to updated First Party requirements.
Perform game manual checks and English text reviews for Compliance issues (e.g., Naming conventions) and assist Localisation QA to ensure the title adheres to the latest terminology in all supported languages.
Identify the need for test case adjustment to increase coverage and apply the adjustments accordingly to improve testing effectiveness.
Carry out duties professionally, act diligently to maintain the security of equipment and code at all times and follow the team’s goals and processes accurately.
Actively work with colleagues as appropriate, be supportive and helpful, and promote a robust team environment.
Think proactively, anticipating problems and taking affirmative steps to resolve them if they occur.
Participate in internal playtests, functionality projects and help test various SEGA products when appropriate.
