Drive autonomously. Determine your own work schedule.

Many paths lead to VAIVA. Whether it’s through direct conversations or with our recruiter, through an unsolicited application, or by clicking on an interesting job advertisement in LinkedIn, now is the time to get started! Together, we’d like to discover if we are a good “match”.

The first step is to determine as quickly as possible whether any open positions match your requirements, and if so, which ones. Our career model permits a wide range of entry points in different roles and job families. If we find something suitable, we want to get to know you on short notice and also give you the chance to develop a “real picture” of VAIVA.

This phase is very important to us, which is why we prefer to have one more conversation and give you the broadest possible impression of our company, your potential coworkers and our culture. The process typically begins with an in-depth interview, where you get to know potential supervisors and teammates and where there is sufficient opportunity to have an in-depth exchange of information. Depending on if there are any open questions or topics that still need to be clarified or discussed, an additional interview will be conducted with other people. The point here is to develop the best possible feel for what it would be like for both sides to work together. If we both agree to continue the process, the next step involves conversations with our people team, where we discuss all of the interdisciplinary and organizational issues.

Assuming that we agree we are a great match once the interviews are completed, you will immediately receive a written confirmation. We will then send the employment contract documents containing the initial information regarding the onboarding process.

Everything is new, and much is unfamiliar. That’s why ensuring that your start at VAIVA is as pleasant, uncomplicated and informative as possible is of special concern to us. Our goal is to make sure that you quickly become part of the team and that you feel integrated and at home. With this in mind, you will have a mentor at your side for the first six months, beginning with your arrival on day one. This person will help you become familiar with your work environment as quickly as possible. After the two of you pick up and set up your equipment, an onboarding event will take place on your second day. You will be provided a concrete orientation plan. In addition, you will find all of the necessary documents in our collaboration and knowledge management systems.

The next part of your orientation begins in week two. It goes without saying that your mentor is not the only the person available to help you during your first weeks and months on the job. All of your coworkers and managers will try to make your start at VAIVA as pleasant and successful as possible

Your time at VAIVA should be well spent. We view your professional and personal development as an obligation. A wide range of development opportunities are available to you along numerous different career paths, all of which are equal with respect to a career as an expert or manager, or in terms of expanding your horizons across various job families.

For example, you can begin as a software engineer, and then move to a senior or lead engineer position, or develop into a principal software engineer, or go in the direction of project/ program management, change to the area of software architecture or take the expert route to a functional safety or ML engineer…the list goes on.

All career opportunities are transparent and the necessary qualification criteria are clearly outlined. In your personal development plan, which is updated annually, a precise roadmap will be agreed upon with your supervisor, including concrete measures, milestones and items for review. What does our CEO Ole have to say about all of this? “I believe companies have an obligation to offer their employees the ideal environment for career development and #personalgrowth. Our goal is to put technical career paths on equal footing with management career paths (such as with respect to visibility, compensation or social benefits).”

Sound exciting? We look forward to hearing from you! 😉
