Interview process

We believe that people demonstrate their talent in various ways and we want to be flexible in what works best for you. We also encourage using AI tools to reflect how you actually work and use real world examples instead of leetcode style questions.

After an initial background screening to determine culture fit, we will work together to determine what’s the best next step for you to demonstrate your technical skills. It can be multi-day paid work trial, single-day AI assisted in-person mini project, past project walkthrough, etc. If you have your preferred method of showing off your skills as a talented engineer, we’d love to hear about those too!
