Team, about the role

We are looking for junior 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. We create the conditions to grow into experts in game design or management and expect a high degree of independence, engagement, and initiative.
