While staunchly in remote working mode due to the coronavirus pandemic, Atostek is expanding to Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, hiring its first employee from Central Finland. For now, the company will not be setting up a full-scale traditional office at the new location and is instead establishing a satellite office. Its first employee not only has a PhD in humanities, but is also a software engineering professional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the right person was found, the company wanted to act in an agile way. Sanna-Mari \u00c4yr\u00e4m\u00f6 will be starting as a UX designer in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, and will be working mostly from home.<\/p>\n

Setting up a new office did not seem timely due to the coronavirus crisis and the continued remote working practices. Even though you would mostly be working remotely during unexceptional circumstances as well, it might not be the best solution to use your home as your office every single day. Your home may be undergoing renovations, or you may need to meet customers at your own office.<\/p>\n

Commuting to e.g. Tampere might not be the most practical solution for a situation like this. For this reason, Atostek decided to enter an agreement for co-working spaces in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 with Kielo Office Solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtostek sees itself as part of the location independent working trend that is likely to continue well beyond the current exceptional circumstances,\u201d says Atostek\u2019s HR expert, Annamari Lehtinen<\/strong>, and goes on to say that \u201cwe\u2019re moving forward with an agile hybrid model, and are now ready to hire more people from the Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 region just like we would in Tampere or Helsinki metropolitan area, where our more traditional offices are located.\u201d<\/p>\n

From a PhD in humanities to a coding UX designer<\/h2>\n

Sanna-Mari \u00c4yr\u00e4m\u00f6<\/strong> already has already accomplished a decade-long career in researching storytelling as a part of learning games. In addition to writing a dissertation and starting a family, this period included a long continuum of multidisciplinary humanistic research and study.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter completing my dissertation, I found myself doing mixed academic work, and decided to go for a master’s degree in software engineering at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4. It was there that I got excited about user experience design,\u201d she says. \u201cAfter all, a UX designer also studies content and human experience. The way we assign meaning to things, as well as the users\u2019 wants and needs, is an important part of this job, so my skills and background as a researcher are very useful,\u201d \u00c4yr\u00e4m\u00f6 continues.<\/p>\n

Sanna-Mari expects that her new job will offer a more of a hands-on approach to everyday design work, from mapping out clients\u2019 needs all the way to implementation. Thanks to her studies in software engineering, she is also able to translate the designs into code if needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe social aspect of the work is really important to me as well. As a researcher, you often work alone and may feel lonely at times. Even despite Covid and the widespread remote work practices, I have already had more video meetings and pleasant interactions here,\u201d Sanna-Mari says.<\/p>\n
