About us
As a technology leader in sim racing, we are here to create long-lasting high-quality products, exceed customer expectations, and innovate so that racers can have the best gear available.

While our products combine the precision of e-sports with industrial expertise and raw performance, the atmosphere at our office in Hervanta is cozy and welcoming. Our relaxed and flat organizational culture is symbolized by woolen socks, worn by everyone — including the CEO. This unique blend of cutting-edge technology and a supportive work environment has earned us the title of Finland's Most Human-Centric Workplace in 2024, by Hälsa.
Simucube (Granite Devices Oy) was founded in 2007 and is fully owned by its employees. In 2024, our revenue was over 15 M€.
Interested in joining us?
Excellent! Here are the next steps:
The application period is 7.1.2026-1.2.2026. Please send us your application and CV and tell us where you see yourself in our Simucube crew. If you have any samples of your work (such as a GitHub profile, text samples, or other projects), attach them to your application.
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’ll get to meet some of your possible future team members.

Employee well-being and a fulfilling life are at the core of our culture. While we support flexible working overall, this summer role is designed to be primarily on-site to support learning and collaboration and therefore requires presence at our Hervanta office in Tampere on most working days.
