At Varjo we create hardware and software to fulfil our vision of immersive computing. Our virtual and mixed reality products will transform the way professionals work, create and experience reality.

We want to work with the best – we want you to join us. We are offering you an exciting position where you can see into the future and play your part in shaping it.

When we are done, computers will look nothing like what they do right now.

Job description

Redefining how we think about and experience computers in the future is quite a journey in software creation. An activity at the core of that journey is testing software that supports our iterative development approach. Our world-class developers, HW innovators and designers are not able to do their magic if we don’t do magic also in testing our software every day.

Your job within the manual QA team will be to design, specify and run test procedures and test cases which give continuous feedback to your developer colleagues. At Varjo we approach testing and quality assurance with a unique mix of automation, telemetry, manual and user-based testing where manual testing is one of the core pillars. You must be passionate about building software in the right way and doing smart testing as a part of a larger engineering team. We expect you to sit down and write test cases, spend hours debating how we should test our software and then continuously support the execution of test plans as part of our iterative development process. Our developers are a collection of world-class talent, and we want you to aim for the same level in your line of work.

This is a full-time position located in Helsinki, Finland, with possibility of hybrid work. If you are coming from abroad, we will gladly support relocating to the capital of the world's happiest country.

Responsibilities

• Design and execution of manual test activities as part of our Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality software development. Work with developers and design colleagues to define what, how and when we test and write those tests.
• Be involved in testing of both hardware products and software integrations throughout entire product lifecycles.
• Identifying and reporting bugs in clear and concise way to development, reproducing issue identified in the field and increasing our test coverage to catch those in the future.
• Drive a culture of quality software creation and data-centric thinking where continuous integration and testing is an activity that eases the everyday life of our development teams.
• Act as an intermediary between development teams, test teams and design teams to reinforce continual delivery of quality products and support the software releasing process.
• There is no micromanaging, you need to be self-driven and you keep your eye on the ball, finding opportunities for improving quality assurance and testing by analyzing test results, bug reports and design specifications.

Your skills

• Hands-on experience of designing test cases and running test procedures as part of complex software development. The more complex the system the better, amaze us!
• Worked with product specifications and designers to translate intended behaviour into test cases, and creating tests that will catch regressions.
• Proven track record of shipping software and being a key individual in product delivery.
• Proactive team player with ability to perform in cross functional teams.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
