How do you apply?
To apply, please send your CV and cover letter by email. Our hiring process is as follows:
- A HackerRank link will be sent to you for a coding test. There are 3 algorithms questions and you will have 90minutes to complete them (tip: to remove a node from a linked list, do "previous.next = current.next"). Don't stress too much if your answer isn't 100% perfect. Successful candidates tend to get 80% on the first and second question, and 30% on the last question. We've passed people with lower scores (because they were off-by-one or otherwise very close to having a perfect answer) and failed people with higher scores (generally due to unreadable code). We try to look at the code of all applicants. Sometimes this can be difficult depending on the number of applicants.
- An interview with our CEO to get to know each other better. This interview is generally 30 minutes.
- An interview with our Head of Technology to get to know your technical background, and to see how we work together to solve technical problems. This interview will have a coding portion where you'll pair program on one or two more algorithms questions. The questions in this interview are usually quite similar to the ones you did in the first part of the interview process, or completely different but easier. The idea is to work together, not to trip you up with a tricky algorithm. This interview generally takes 30-60 minutes. Depending on timing, you may be able to do Step #2 and Step #3 back-to-back.
- That's it - between 2 and 2.5 hours total. After Step 3, we will send you a hire or no hire decision via email.
