Our Hiring Approach
We value curious and growth oriented mindsets, and look for new team members who are interested in challenging themselves and sharing what they learn. We want to hire engineers who are driven by quality; who have clear opinions about how we can do our best work, and yet are open to change. We look for people who have a sense of humor and humility, who can keep it light while we roll up our sleeves. Communication skills are a must. Our goal is for everyone to be able to show up as their full self and offer leadership in their own way.
Our interview process aims to give candidates an opportunity to shine, combining both written portions and in person (Zoom) interviews. We respect your time and will not ask you to do any overly lengthy take home assignments (no “build an app that…”). Technical interviews will emphasize applied, real-world challenges over abstract algorithms and data structures. We understand that you are also interviewing us, and will prioritize answering your questions along the way as well.
