• Process‑Disciplined: You work best with structured checklists and defined procedures.
• Calm & Reliable: You perform steadily in live, time‑sensitive environments.
• Locally Available: You’re based in NJ (or open to relocating) and can handle daily travel as needed.

• Experience in QA, compliance, lab testing, auditing, or other structured review environments
• Familiarity with high‑precision, SOP‑driven work
• Exposure to both digital and in‑person verification tasks
• Achievement in competitive video games or strategy games
• New grads and new workers welcome
