Your task may be to design and implement various test automation solutions for our customers in different industries, always focusing on one customer at a time.

• You want to guide the customer to select smart test automation solutions that are most effective and maintainable in the long run.

• You are flexible; can adapt to new teams, domains and ways of working quickly.
• You have courage to bring up your own observations and ideas and discuss your own and others’ ideas constructively.
• You have good communication skills. Fluent English is required, Finnish is a plus. Sometimes it can also be the other way around as the language skills needed may vary depending on our customer projects.

You will fit in well with VALA if you are self-directed and analytical and value an empathetic company culture and enjoy working with customers.
