QTech Games expands its Tech Hub premises after strong start in Malaga

Emerging-markets aggregator quick to grow its recently founded offices and local staff in flourishing Spanish hub at the crossroads to Africa and Europe

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator across all emerging markets, is expanding its existing premises and adding further personnel to its recently founded Tech Hub in Malaga on the south coast of Spain. The company is now looking to grow its current headcount to over 30 employees on the Costa del Sol with the addition of 17 new positions.

Having already established two key operational units in Q4 2024 – firstly, a Connect Team to facilitate supplier integrations; then a QT Hybrid Team to support its in-demand retail solution – these new roles will also inform a dedicated Platform Team, driving software development and bolstering QTech’s services for its European and African partners. The positions include but are not limited to:

• 3 Team Leads

• 2 Full Stack (Laravel)

• 4 Backend (Java)

• 1 Frontend (React)

• 2 QA

• 1 Infra/SRE/DevOps

• 2 Tech Support

• 1 HR Business Partner

• 1 Graphical Designer

QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “Towards the end of 2024, we set up the Tech Hub. Its initial aim was to focus on client requests for our QTech Hybrid product, and we’ve really hit the ground running, winning multiple Africa-facing awards for innovation and going live with multiple clients in our pilot scheme rollout. Now, thanks to some fabulous recruitment partners at ESR Talent and our team’s initial gains, I’m pleased to say we’ve been forced into moving offices into a bigger unit, as we crew up from 12 to 30 staff with the addition of this exciting Platform Team!

“It’s an extension of QTech’s ‘plan global, act local’ philosophy, selecting Spain and Malaga as the site for our flourishing tech hub precisely because of its unique place at the intersection of Europe and Africa, alongside its natural linguistic and thematic gateway to LatAm. This Malaga hub has already brought even greater capacity to QTech Games’ tech organisation.”

While this early success story has emboldened the aggregator to continue building a strong tech hub for the group in Spain, it is also investing in putting more boots on the ground in Malta, another well-placed igaming nerve centre from which to serve multiple continents.

Doftvik added: “This physical growth strategy enables QTech Games to scale up our tech org more quickly and ensure it remains ahead of any innovative trends or requirements in technology. Malaga and Malta consistently chart among Europe’s most safe and desirable cities in which to live. With the scale-up, we ensure that we are constantly delivering cutting-edge solutions to remain at the forefront of new technology, innovation and product development.”

ESR Talent, a global leader in executive search and recruitment services for iGaming, has once again been chosen by QTech Games to help source and fill a host of core roles with the best-credentialed talent.

Helena Scone, ESR Talent’s Director of Gaming & Fintech, commented: “This expansive move underscores QTech’s commitment to staffing its offices with top-tier professionals in key business areas, marking another significant step towards achieving their goal of becoming the emerging-markets leader locally and regionally. And we’re here to help them realise their aims, fostering the most attractive culture and environment along the way.

“At ESR and QTech, we are all about putting people first and finding the talent that wants to walk the extra mile and be part of an exciting growth journey. We’ve already recruited a nearly 20-strong team, and we’re excited by the future possibilities this will bring to our global team.”
