Working Student - QA Engineer

Boxelware GmbH - Erlangen, Germany Part Time

About us

We (Boxelware) are a young games studio from Erlangen, near Nuremberg in Germany. Our current main project is the development of our largest and (currently) only title ‘Avorion’, a space sandbox where players can build their own spaceships and conquer the galaxy together with friends. In 2017 we started out with Avorion and went from being a hobby project to a Steam front-page topseller. After finishing Avorion 1.0 we’re concentrating on additional content and improvements to the base game. We’re planning to support Avorion for a long time after its initial release, and that’s why we need engaged players like you, who don’t shy away from getting their hands dirty!
