Virtual Reality Tester

Virtual Reality Tester

Gemba — Newcastle, United Kingdom

We’re Gemba — a fast-moving VR training company on a mission to make boring training a thing of the past. Our Newcastle team is small, collaborative and hands‑on.

We’re looking for a Junior QA Tester with a creative spark to join us for a fixed‑term 12‑month maternity cover. We need someone who’s eager, switched‑on, and ready to get up to speed quickly.

You will be our quality gatekeeper, but because we are a close‑knit team, you’ll also get to flex your creative muscles.

• QA Testing: Test our VR platform and experiences to ensure they are bug‑free.
• Bug Hunting: Log, track, and retest bugs using structured plans.
• Creative Destruction: Think outside the box to try and ‘break’ the build.
• Collaboration: Work right next to developers and artists to polish the product.
• A Clear Communicator: There is no point finding a bug if you can’t explain the issue. You’ll need to be able to describe problems clearly to developers so they can fix them fast.

We’d love someone who brings a little something extra to the table. This doesn’t need to be professional‑level experience—just a hobby or passion you want to develop. This could be:

• Graphic design (Photoshop/Adobe Suite)
• 3D modelling or Animation
• Basic coding or Unity experience
• Any other creative/technical skill you’ve dabbled in!

• Ambitious & Curious: You love gaming, VR, AI, or creative tech.
• A “Do‑er”: You enjoy solving problems and jumping between different types of tasks.
• No Ego: You’re happy taking direction and helping wherever needed.

We don’t require testing experience, or a degree. This is a genuine entry‑level role for someone creative and passionate about video games, AI, and digital creative work. Passion projects and side hustles absolutely count as relevant experience!

• Location: Fully onsite in our Newcastle office.
• Start date: 5th January 2026
• Note:
  
  We are unfortunately unable to offer relocation packages or visa sponsorship for this role.
• Applications will close on or before 19th December. We will be interviewing as applications come through, so you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

• Experience working in a fast‑growing industry with the latest tech (VR, AI).
• A close‑knit, supportive team who will teach you loads.
• A chance to stretch into new skills and find your path.

Apply via Linked In with your CV, plus anything that shows your creative/technical interest (optional). This could be a portfolio, website, work samples, etc.
