Familiarity with game development pipelines and what makes feedback useful to a developer
Experience using Kanban boards, ideally Jira, for bug tracking and project coordination
Fluency with Steam Community and Discord server tools, with experience moderating game communities
Strong written communication skills, equally comfortable writing a bug report and a player-facing update

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

Background in QA, community management, or player support at a studio or publisher
Familiarity with development terminology (builds, branches, regression, etc.)
Experience working in Unity and/or Unreal Engine
