Your role at GamingCenter
Product Operations & QA makes critical GamingCenter journeys easier to trust. This paid working-student role develops practical skill in risk-based testing, precise defect communication and evidence-led release support across web and operational workflows.
A one-month unpaid learning placement is considered only where it is lawful in the candidate's physical work country and supported by formal school, university or public-authority documentation reviewed and approved before the start. A declaration in the application is not approval. Candidates who are not eligible do not perform unpaid productive work; they may remain in recruitment or, with consent, in the talent pool until an appropriate 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 junior offer. Progression is not automatic and depends on legal eligibility, continuing enrolment where required, 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.
How you will contribute
- Execute functional, regression and usability checks for assigned product areas
- Create reproducible bug reports with clear evidence and severity context
- Maintain release-readiness checklists and verify approved fixes
- Support issue triage across product, engineering and operations
- Surface accessibility, localisation and workflow-quality concerns
What will help you succeed
- Current enrolment and eligibility for German working-student employment
- Experience or coursework in QA, product, engineering or a related analytical field
- Strong attention to detail and clear written issue documentation
- Availability for up to 20 hours per week during the lecture period
Helpful experience
- Evidence of a relevant university, volunteer or personal project
- Familiarity with the tools and workflows commonly used in this discipline
What you will learn and gain
- Paid part-time experience in Product Operations within an early-stage gaming marketplace
- Structured onboarding, weekly feedback and documented development goals
- Ownership of defined work with review before production or external use
- Cross-functional collaboration and portfolio-ready evidence where confidentiality permits
What happens next
