Interview Process

• The first step is meeting Charlie, our CTO. He'll ask in-depth questions about your work history, as well as give you an overview of our company and culture.
• The next step is a technical take-home assignment where you'll solve a problem similar to the ones we face every day.
• After the take-home, you'll meet us on-site to whiteboard a system design problem, discuss how you think about engineering management and processes, and enjoy a delicious lunch with the team.
• Finally, we like to do a paid trial run, where you'll be working with us over a weekend or part-time during the week. This lets both sides make a more informed decision about working together.
• Afterwards, we'll ask for references with past colleagues and compile a formal offer.
