Junior Game Tester (QA)
About the role
Himmelskolen is live, and the game gets updated almost every week. Every update can bring new bugs — a bird that freezes mid-air, a sound that never plays, a player falling through the floor. We need someone with sharp eyes who finds these bugs before our players do.
As our Junior Game Tester you'll be part of the quality team and report directly to the studio's leadership: Somia Salaouatchi (Creative Director) and Bilal Salaouatchi (Technical Director). What you find actually gets fixed — often as soon as the following week.
What you'll do
- Systematic bug hunting — one fixed hour every week, searching an agreed part of the game with focus and precision
- Screenshots with markings — you take a screenshot of the bug and clearly mark/draw where it is
- Bug reports — you describe what happened, where it happened, and step by step how to make it happen again
- Submitting — all findings are delivered before your work hour is over
- Follow-up — you answer questions from the developers if anything in your report needs clarifying
What a good bug report looks like
We hold our reports to a high standard — a good report lets us fix the bug without asking any further questions. Here's a real example from our last test round:
Letter-bird freezes mid-air and can't be clicked
- Start solo practice
- Answer the first two birds correctly
- Click bird no. 3 right as it takes off
Who we're looking for
- You have a sharp eye for detail — you notice things others miss
- You can explain clearly, both out loud and in writing
- You can take screenshots and mark them up — or you're willing to learn (we'll teach you)
- You're patient and systematic — real bug hunting is calm and thorough, not random clicking
- You've played many kinds of games and know how a game should behave
- Age is not a barrier — we judge every applicant on skill and effort
Work hours and discipline
This job takes precision, not just a love of games:
- Your work hour is one hour, same weekday and same time every week. You propose your own day and time in the application.
- Showing up on time is your own responsibility — we do not send reminders.
- All the work — searching, screenshots, marking, writing reports and submitting — happens inside that hour.
- Overtime is only paid when it's agreed in advance or well argued afterwards. You'll have to make the case for why the extra time was needed.
Pay and terms
Pay is decided in the interview, based on the experience and value you show. There are two models — which one you get is part of the negotiation:
① Pay per approved bug — you get paid for every bug that management approves.
② Hourly pay — a fixed rate for every completed work hour.
Come prepared: in the interview you'll propose and defend your own pay. Well-argued demands are taken seriously.
What we offer
- Pay by agreement — see the two models above
- Your name in the game's credits under "Quality Assurance"
- Real QA experience and a written reference letter when your engagement ends
- A direct line to the developers — short decisions, no middlemen
- A front-row seat to how a real game gets built, week by week
The application process
- The position is advertised in the game's newsletter and among the families who play Himmelskolen — applications are coming in steadily
- Apply through the application form by August 24, 2026
- Shortlisted candidates are invited to a 15-minute video interview (Teams, Discord or Zoom)
- In the interview we ask the usual interview questions, test your eye for detail, and negotiate pay
- Only one candidate gets the position. Every applicant gets an answer.
The engagement simply continues for as long as the work stays at a high standard — quality decides.
