Emerging-markets leader lays down roots and looks to scale up along Spain’s Costa Del Sol at the intersection between Africa, Europe and LatAm

QTech Games, the leading game distributor across all emerging markets, is founding a new Tech Hub in Malaga on the south coast of Spain. The initial aim is to establish two key tech units (a Connect Team to enable supplier integrations; and a QT Hybrid Team supporting its new retail solution) to drive innovation and software development.

The central aim is to further diversify QTech Games and its tech capabilities from a well-positioned European base. This Malaga hub will allow QTech to scale its tech org more quickly and cement the foundation to ensure it always stays ahead of any innovative trends or requirements in technology, working from a new base whose proximate geography, standard time and language match up well with targeted regions in Africa, Europe and LatAm.

In view of its accompanying hiring programme to expand its technical team, QTech Games is also partnering with ESR Talent, a global leader in executive search and recruitment services for iGaming, in order to find the best talent in the region. The positions initially sought include but are not limited to: Team Leaders, Software Developers, Laravel Full-Stack Devs and Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers.

QTech Games’ CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We are delighted to be opening a new tech hub, and look forward to building our team by adding top Team Leads, highly talented developers and experienced engineers into our tech function. Malaga is a fantastic igaming location, and we can’t wait to welcome our new colleagues!

“This is a sign of how QTech Games is investing in new technology and product dev – and the personnel that power them – while securing a prime location like Malaga immediately puts our tech hub at the intersection between Africa, Europe and LatAm. The time zone overlap with Africa’s emerging-yet-fragmented market is especially appealing.”

Helena Scone, ESR Talent’s Director of Gaming & Fintech, added: “We’re thrilled to partner with QTech Games, as they gear up to launch their incredible new tech hub on the Costa del Sol. Malaga is the perfect place for tech innovation: cutting-edge infrastructure, connectivity, a tech-friendly atmosphere, and a great cost of living. With a wealth of talent pouring out of the University of Malaga and a strong network of tech companies, the opportunities are endless.”
