Appodeal Publishing is a fast-growing division of Appodeal, focused on helping mobile game developers launch and scale games with strong market potential.
Weβre not a service β weβre a strategic product partner. We provide UA, monetization, funding, analytics, and creative support, tailored to each game's unique needs.
We work across genres (not just hyper-casual), and weβre building a lean, high-impact publishing team in Europe β where product quality, game feel, and creative thinking come first.

Weβre looking for a Publishing QA / Tech Engineer, youβll be responsible for ensuring the quality, stability, and technical reliability of mobile games published with Appodeal. Youβll test builds, validate SDK integrations, and act as the technical backbone for our publishing pipeline.
This is not just button-clicking QA β itβs a hybrid role combining quality assurance, technical troubleshooting, and publishing operations. Youβll work closely with developers, external partners, and internal teams (Tech, UA, Creative, Analytics) to make sure every game we launch meets high standards of quality, stability, and performance.
