Your role at GamingCenter
Product Operations & QA protects the journeys candidates, partners and customers rely on. You would translate requirements into risk-based tests, reproduce issues precisely and make release decisions easier through concise evidence rather than test volume.
An unpaid one-month traineeship is considered only where a recognised educational institution or competent public authority formally arranges it and the Estonia work-country, enrolment and legal checks are documented and approved before the start. A declaration in the application is not approval. Otherwise the candidate performs no unpaid work and may remain in recruitment or, with consent, in the talent pool until a paid opening is available.
An approved placement has written learning objectives, mentorship, approximately 20 hours per week, weekly feedback and a transparent 10-point scorecard. A final score of at least 8/10 permits consideration for a separate paid working-student or legally appropriate contract. Progression is not automatic and depends on legal eligibility, continuing enrolment, payroll readiness, budget and available headcount.
This is a paid part-time position with defined responsibilities, written objectives and regular feedback. Before the start, we confirm enrolment, the physical work country, work eligibility, compensation and the responsible contracting party in a signed agreement. Recruitment tasks are time-boxed and non-production; no unpaid productive work is part of the selection process.

- Execute approved functional, regression and usability test scenarios
- Write reproducible issue reports with clear evidence and context
- Maintain release-readiness checklists and verify approved fixes

What will help you succeed
- Current enrolment at a recognised educational institution
- Legal right to work remotely from Estonia
