What we would love to see

To us, your self-acquired skills and the desire to grow are as valuable as formal education and work experience, so show us what you can do! We value an independent way of working and excellent problem-solving skills, and, above all, we would love to see that you are as excited about our mission as the pioneers of the next wave of eSports as we are.

We believe that teamwork is the key and know that great achievements are the result of collaboration. From day one, you’ll have the entire Simucube team by your side, ready to guide, support, and celebrate your progress.

Does all this sound good?

Excellent! Here are the next steps:

1. The application period is 27.12.2024–2.2.2025. Please send us your application and CV and tell us where you see yourself in our Crew. If you have any samples of your work (such as a GitHub profile, text samples, or other projects), attach them to your application.

2. We will review your application and may contact you to have a closer discussion about what kind of role we could offer you already during the application period. During the discussions, you get to meet some of your possible future team members.

3. We are flexible with the starting dates but please note that we hope you can join us around May!

Employee well-being and a fulfilling life are at the core of our culture. We offer overall flexible working conditions, but all our roles still require regular presence at our office in Hervanta, Tampere. Please note that our candidates must be eligible to work in Finland, as we don’t currently have the resources to assist in relocation or the VISA process.

Are you ready for the race? Join us to make an impact today and define tomorrow for yourself, our team, and our customers!

Anonymous recruitment

As equal opportunities for everyone and continuous development of our ways of working are at the core of our company, we use anonymous recruitment. We welcome people from different backgrounds and different life situations, and are committed to promoting equal treatment of candidates.

Our goal with anonymous recruitment is to allow an increasingly diverse group of candidates to enter the interview stage and to select the most suitable person, regardless of their characteristics. By using anonymous recruitment, we can avoid unconscious biases affecting the outcome of the recruitment.

Anonymous recruitment at Simucube means that all applications are reviewed in anonymous mode in our recruitment system. The system will automatically blur personal information such as name, email address, and photo from both the application form and the CV. Based on the other information provided in the CV and application form, we select the most suitable candidates for the interview process. At this stage, all information provided by the candidate will be visible.
