Our Hiring Process

You choose how to interview! We know different people have different desires for the interviewing process. Here's a menu of ways we can get to know you.

We aim to spend less than 3 hours of your time in interviews and assessments, and we’ll get back to you promptly with a written offer to join the team immediately after your final interview. We realize your time is valuable.

**

Stage 1**

Initial 30-minute discussion with our in-house tech recruiter. Ask her your deal-breaker questions and she'll tell you why you might want to work for our company.

**

Stage 2**

Talk to the Technical Project Manager for a "culture fit" interview. You can schedule a 1-hour interview to find out what it's like working on our engineering team and give us the chance to get to know your style as well.

**

Stage 3**

We want to see how you solve a tech problem. The best way for us to assess your technical proficiency is with a simulated code review. We'll give you a pull request from a small JavaScript application. Perform a code review and explain how you could improve the code (a one-hour live call with a senior engineer).

**

Stage 4**

30-minute interview with our Head of Engineering to discuss our expectations for job success and your expectations for job growth.
