Thinking about taking a year abroad? You might as well come back with more than photos.
Moving abroad doesn't have to mean putting your career on pause.
We're looking for German-speaking Gaming Community Moderators to join an international gaming project in Sofia, Bulgaria. A role where you'll gain hands-on experience in online safety, content moderation and digital communities while building a life abroad.
A full relocation package is included. And instead of spending your gap year wondering what you're going to do next, you'll be adding international tech and gaming experience to your CV.
Not a bad trade.
So, what will you be doing in this role?
Think of yourself as part of the team behind the scenes keeping an online gaming community safe.
You'll review content and player reports, apply community guidelines and help identify behaviour or trends that could create problems for players.
Your day can include:
- Reviewing and moderating content
- Handling player safety concerns
- Applying community guidelines and policies
- Identifying and reporting emerging trends
- Working alongside experienced Trust & Safety specialists
- Helping create a safer environment for an international gaming community
You'll receive fully paid training, so we're not expecting you to arrive knowing every policy by heart.
Why this is actually useful experience
Here's where this role gets interesting.
Trust & Safety has become an important part of how large online platforms operate. You'll gain practical experience with content moderation, policy enforcement, risk awareness, digital communities and online safety.
That can give you a foundation for future opportunities within areas such as:
Trust & Safety • Gaming • Content Moderation • Online Platforms • Customer Experience • Digital Operations
So whether Sofia becomes your new home or simply one chapter of your life abroad, you'll leave with international experience you can actually explain in your next interview.
Why Sofia?
Sofia is one of those European capitals that tends to fly slightly under the radar.
And that's part of the appeal.
You'll find an international community, mountains practically on the doorstep, plenty happening after work and easy access to travel around the Balkans and the rest of Europe.
For someone who has been thinking:
"I want to live abroad for a while… I just don't know where to start."
This is a pretty straightforward way to do it.
Because you're not expected to figure out the move completely by yourself.
Requirements
You don't need ten years of experience or a perfectly polished corporate CV.
We're looking for someone who:
- Speaks German fluently
- Has a good level of English
- Understands online and gaming communities
- Is comfortable working with technology
- Can follow policies and make consistent decisions
- Pays attention to detail
- Is interested in internet culture and current trends
- Can approach difficult situations maturely and objectively
One important thing to know: Trust & Safety work can involve reviewing sensitive or emotionally challenging content. You should feel comfortable with that aspect of the role before applying, and professional support is available to employees.
Benefits
To make your move to Bulgaria easier, the package includes:
- €1500 in relocation bonus to ease your transition
- Support finding longer-term accommodation
- Fully paid training
- Additional health insurance
- Attractive salary
- Career development opportunities
- International working environment
- Team events
- A wide selection of additional employee benefits
In other words: getting yourself to Bulgaria and immediately finding somewhere to live isn't entirely your problem.
Which is quite nice when you're moving countries.
Your year abroad could be more than a year abroad.
Maybe you're taking a gap year.
Maybe you're tired of doing the same thing in the same place.
Maybe you've been talking about moving abroad for approximately three years and it's finally time to stop talking about it.
Whatever brought you here, this could be your chance to live in Sofia, work in gaming and build international experience at the same time.
Worst case? You tried living abroad.
Best case?
You might wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
