The Hiring Process
During the hiring process you’ll have a chance to interact with several team members. We strongly encourage you to bring questions to each stage of the interview process. You’re interviewing us as much as we’re interviewing you.
Applications will be accepted until 9AM PST on April 15th 2024. We aim to have a final decision between May 10th and May 14th 2024. Our teams will be at Product Summit between April 29th and May 2nd so there will be a brief pause in the hiring process between those dates. Our target starting date will be May 27th 2024 .
Below is an outline of our hiring process.
- Step One : Apply with a resume and cover letter. Your cover letter should speak directly to your interest in this position . We want to know what got you into product development how your experience has set you up for success in this role and why you want to join our team.
(A word of caution for those using AI cover letters: When compared to the hundreds of other candidates who did the exact same thing it becomes painfully obvious who took the AI first draft. If you're going to use these tools we ask that you use them well. Give our recruiter something a bit more human to read.)
- Step Two : An invitation to an online coding assessment to get a rough understanding of your experience.
- Step Three : Initial blind screen with our recruiter to get to know one another and discuss work and culture.
- Step Four : Technical interview in CodeSignal with a few developers ( You'll meet members of our team to discuss your work experience methodologies and ask lingering questions you have about us ).
- Step Five : Pending all goes well an offer will be extended.
* Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet ~60% of the criteria women and those in underrepresented groups in tech tend to apply only when they check every box. If you’re unsure if your experience qualifies strong competency we’d still love to hear from you and see if you're a good fit!
Requirements
- Reside in the United States
- Eligible to work in the United States ( we are currently unable to offer employment to those with H-1B visas )
- Be willing to travel four times each year to connect with the rest of the team (not during a pandemic)
