Hiring Process

What to expect

We designed our process to be transparent, fast, and respectful of your time. No ghosting. No surprise rounds. Honest communication throughout.

The Process

Five steps, start to finish

01

Application Review

1–3 days

We review every application ourselves - no ATS black hole. We look for genuine interest in what we are building, relevant experience, and clear communication in your writing. A tailored cover note always helps.

02

Intro Call

30 minutes

A casual video call with someone from the team. We will share more about the role, answer your questions honestly, and get a feel for how you think and communicate. No trick questions. No gotchas.

03

Skills Assessment

1–3 hours

A focused take-home challenge relevant to the role - a short design brief, a real engineering problem, or a strategy case. We scope it to 2–3 hours max and pay a $100 honorarium for completed assessments at the final stage.

04

Team Interview

60–90 minutes

A structured conversation with two or three team members. We walk through your assessment together, explore your past work, and discuss how you approach problems. You also get unfiltered time to ask us anything.

05

Offer & Onboarding

Within 48 hours

If it is a strong mutual fit, we move fast. You will receive a clear offer with compensation, equity, start date, and benefits laid out transparently. Onboarding is structured, async-friendly, and includes a 30-60-90 day plan.
