Requirements - Our goal with the interview process is to balance speed with giving both parties opportunities to assess whether there is a strong mutual fit. - We will ask you questions, but we want you to ask us questions! - Our technical interviews focus on how you design systems because we believe this is the best way for us to see how you work and for you to see how we collaborate. - We don’t ask you to write code to solve technical brainteasers that don’t appear in your day to day job. Benefits - We have limited inbound applications to one application per candidate. - You will be auto-rejected if you apply to multiple roles. - Please only apply to the position you are most qualified for. Interview Process - Recruiter Screen [30m]: Introductory call with our recruiting team to get to know each other and see if the role could be a good mutual fit. - System Design Screen [45m]: Designing a data processing feature end-to-end. - Hiring Manager Interview [30m]: Chat with hiring manager about past experiences and future operating preferences to assess fit on company values and operating principles. - System Design Interview [90m]: Work with the interviewer to architect a system at a conceptual level.
