Virtual Reality Tester
Gemba — Newcastle, United Kingdom
About the Company
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.
About the Role
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.
The Mission
You will be our quality gatekeeper, but because we are a close‑knit team, you’ll also get to flex your creative muscles.
Primary Responsibility (The Core Role)
- 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.
Wildcard (Your Bonus Power)
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!
About You
- 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!
The Logistics
- 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.
What you’ll get
- 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.
How to apply
Apply via LinkedIn with your CV, plus anything that shows your creative/technical interest (optional). This could be a portfolio, website, work samples, etc.
