We are looking for junior QA specialists whose goal is to become game designers or project managers and who see QA as an intentional step toward that goal.
At our company, QA is not just a role, but a foundation for growth and deep product understanding. We believe that strong gameplay architects are shaped through testing mechanics and analyzing features. We are looking for people who are eager to dive deep into mechanics, understand player behavior, and see the holistic product behind individual bugs — and eventually take on greater responsibility by influencing features, decisions, and the overall development of the project.

Requirements A strong ambition to grow into game design, production, or management; Mobile gaming experience and a genuine interest in game development;
A proactive mindset: the ability not only to identify problems but also to propose solutions; At least 6 months of commercial experience in manual testing; Higher education degree; Knowledge of testing theory.
Preferred Understanding of game design and analytics fundamentals; Experience working with AI tools; Interest in analytics and product metrics.
