Game Tester (Slots & Mobile)
About the role
Gżira Game Labs Ltd is a growing iGaming development studio based near the Sliema–Gżira seafront, producing mobile-first slot titles for regulated markets. Our studio blends a small-team atmosphere with international distribution partners and a product-led approach to game development.
As a Game Tester you will work closely with developers, mathematicians and product owners to verify game behaviour, help maintain quality across Android/iOS/HTML5 builds and document issues in test management tools. You will play a key role during feature releases, localisation runs and regression cycles — your attention to detail will directly impact player experience and regulatory compliance.
This role is ideal for someone early in their QA career with an interest in slots and mobile gaming. We offer structured on-the-job training, cross-functional exposure (art, maths, engineering) and clear progression into senior QA or production roles. The position is office-based in Gżira with occasional after-hours support during releases.
