Available jobs

We believe that submitting an application should be easy and smooth. Therefore, in most cases, we only ask for a resume. If you want to submit additional documents, you are of course welcome to do so.

Don’t worry, it’s not a trap – if we need more than your resume, we’ll get back to you via email.

We may ask specific questions on some applications. We do this because we value potential over the background. This is to give you the opportunity to stand out from the crowd with your answer.

If we have a position available that fits your application, our selection process for most positions includes one to two stages:

1. In each case, there is an interview with your future team lead, a person from the talent team and the managing director (~60min).
2. There may be an additional home task afterwards where you can show what you’ve got.

We customize the interview process for each role, so the phases may vary depending on the department or seniority of the role. The talent team is always available to answer your questions. This will help you prepare in the best possible way.

Basically, each of our interviews is a two-way conversation. So you have plenty of opportunity to ask us questions, just as we ask you questions. Use this opportunity to find out for yourself whether we are a good match.

The Talent Team will provide you with all the information and resources you need to prepare. The application process will test your thinking, working, and practical skills. Some general tips to help you stand out:

Find out about Vaira!

During your first interview, we want to see that you’ve read up on us, what we do, and how we work – for example, by browsing our website, resources, and news feed, googling press releases or articles about us in the news, etc. Many questions you usually have can be answered by doing some basic research, and asking educated (and informed) questions from the start will set you apart from the crowd.

You know what you want!

We value your motivation and ambition as much as your experience and skills. So be prepared to answer not only why you’re a good fit for us, but also why you’re interested in working for us. This includes what you would also like to learn new in this position.

We are a small, fast-growing team and work closely together. So if you clearly show that you know what you want, you’re giving us confirmation that you’re motivated. If your answer is, »I’m applying for this job because I want a job«, then Vaira probably isn’t the right working place for you.

Read the job description

We write job descriptions to accomplish two things: First, to give you an idea of what your job with us would be like. Second, to tell you exactly what requirements we’re looking for. We don’t unnecessarily bloat them with empty bullet points like „be a team player“ – who doesn’t think that about themselves?

You can prepare appropriately for each stage of the application. Here are a few tips:

• • Before the application: think about whether you still want the job in 3, 6, or 12 months and which of the requirements you do or do not meet.
  • Before the interview: Think about 1-2 behavioral questions – „Tell me about a time when,“ „How did you do X in your previous role,“ etc. – that we might ask you about each bullet point. Check to see if you can answer them yourself and where your gaps are.

Read our values

Our values define how we make decisions, how we work with each other, and how we behave toward customers and other stakeholders. As you become familiar with our values, think about which ones you identify with more and which ones you struggle with. None of us will ever live all of our values perfectly, but they are our north star in terms of how we behave and part of how we evaluate our performance.

The format of our questions is mostly behavioral.

We ask questions about your background and experience, your skills, and your motivation to join us. In addition, we want to get a sense of what is challenging for you and how you approach it. A good way to prepare is to read through the job description and think about what questions we might ask you about each of the desired skills we list.

After you have applied, you will receive feedback from us within 5 working days.

After the first interview, or between each stage of the selection process, we will get back to you by email within 3 business days.

If we do not get back to you within this time, either something dramatic has happened or we are not following our guidelines. You are then welcome to email us (but please bear with us – we all miss a deadline sometimes)!

If you live further away, then you will probably never have to. If you are from the region, we would be happy to welcome you personally to our office.

If we ask you to come to our office as part of the selection process, we will cover your travel, food, and accommodation costs (within reason). Our talent team will explain the details of this in due course.

Absolutely! We typically ask applicants to wait six months before applying for another position at Vaira. This gives you time to learn new skills and gain experience so you can be successful in future interviews.
