Careers

In 2008, Qvik started out as a group of friends hoping to deliver saucy code and amazing digital services, yet have an awesome time while doing so – and the spirit of those startup-like times is definitely still strongly with us. Today we are a team of tech-curious, fun-loving problem-solvers. Our everyday work usually happens at our clients’ offices, often in a multi-vendor environment. We prefer to take the lead and use our expertise to make our clients shine. Our values and relationship with work emphasise meaningfulness and the contribution to our overall well-being. Respect and trust are qualities we value. Our sense of community derives from being friends and enjoying each other’s company at and outside of work as well as working together on challenging tasks. Pretty cool, we think.

Building meaningful digital services that have a lasting purpose means constantly evolving both as individuals and as a collective. Relaxed office environment, an open culture and self-organising teams ensure we all find the way to our most desired direction. We’re not all the same, which lets everyone contribute to the mix in their own personal way. We are really proud of our culture and to keep it, we actively work on it, internally and through recruiting. To emphasise how much this means to us, we’re accustomed to having the first interview to anyone wishing to become on of us about our community, ways of working, culture, and how well yours and our expectations meet. Mastering your own core competence naturally plays a major role in these decisions, but we only hire people who share our values.

This part is clear: we offer some pretty cool projects for our developers and designers. We have clients from start-ups to major, international corporations in different fields, such as travel, media and healthcare. As we make our customers’ priority business projects happen, a big part of our competence development comes naturally through our everyday work. We offer our low hierarchy culture; opportunities to try, fail and succeed; as well as a chance for you to concentrate on your actual work. That’s what you would come here for, right? Our benefits package is also pretty nice with the work equipment of your choice, lunch coupons, commuter and sports benefits, occupational health care with extra insurance, company-paid massage, and many sports and hobby possibilities with other Qvikies. We also have many get-togethers and other internal events throughout the year, in Finland and abroad.

We expect a lot from Qvikies because we believe that if you have high expectations, you also deliver better and develop faster. In addition to sharing our vision of a company culture, the level of professionalism and core skills have to be high. We expect you to be used to recommending and comparing different tech or design solutions. You gladly bounce your ideas with your colleagues and mentor juniors. Due to your expertise, you can take the lead in projects. You also understand the nature of consulting business and what it is like to work as a consultant. We also expect you to ask questions, take chances, be silly and be yourself. That’s all.

Monthly, we host a Pizza&Beers event at our office in which you get a chance to hear about the current hot topics in tech and design. And of course, stuff yourself with some pizza and fizzy beverages. In the past our themes have included for example relevance design, recommender systems and AR/VR. We are currently on a summer break but will be back on Thursday, 14 September 2017. Our hot topic will be Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and we have a cool line-up for speakers.
