Interview Process
- Intro chat to tell you about what we are building and find more about your interests. We are looking for ownership, autonomy, and intent but we also dig deeper into communication. This should take about 30 minutes.
- Technical chat for us to deep dive into your past work and interests. the conversation will cover some light technical discussion about your past projects. Mostly, we want to know that you can code and ship fairly involved systems, and speak to them with clarity on the details. This tends to be a good indication that an engineer had strong ownership and showed autonomy in making product or technical decisions. This should take about 45 minutes.
- Take home project (~3-4 hours). We simplified something we already built and will provide skeleton code for you to work on. The idea is to see your technical skills, as well as for you to find out if you like what we are working on.
