At our company, we believe that the hiring process should be transparent, engaging, and respectful of your time and skills. Here’s what you can expect when you apply for a software development position with us:

Resume Review: Initially, we'll review your resume and any links you provide, such as GitHub or StackOverflow, to understand your previous work and contributions. This helps us get a first-look at your expertise and areas of interest.

Interview One: Introduction and Background

• Duration: Up to 30 minutes.
• Conducted by: Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
• Overview: Our CTO will introduce you to our company's mission, the core team, including our founders and their roles, and detailed information about what your specific position would entail.
• Discussion: We like to keep things personable; you'll be asked about your professional background, along with discussing some of your interests and experiences. This is also the stage where some initial technical questions are posed to gauge your technical acumen in a conversational manner.

Interview Two: Practical Skills Assessment

• Duration: At least 30 minutes.
• Focus: Instead of traditional coding tests, we invite you to solve practical and enjoyable coding tasks that are reflective of the real-world scenarios you might face in our projects. This allows us to see your problem-solving skills in action and gives you a taste of the actual work you'd be doing (without making you contribute to our codebase for free).

Decision: You’ll get a decision from us within a timeframe that will be clearly communicated during the final interview.
