How does the interview process look like?
chris_foobarinc 2 years ago next
Our initial interview is usually a phone screen with the engineering manager to chat about your experience and high-level problem-solving approach. Then, you'll have a take-home coding challenge followed by a live technical interview with one of our Sr. Engineers.
