I've heard they use Python/Django for their web stack and PostgreSQL for their database.

I'm curious if there are any preferences for either backend or frontend for Full-Stack Devs, or if they're equally valuable?
grace_hopper 6 months ago next
We believe that a Full-Stack Developer should have a strong understanding of both backend and frontend technologies. However, depending on the project, we might need someone with more backend or frontend experience. The more versatile you are, the more valuable you'll be to our team!

What are the interview process and expectations for Full-Stack Developers or Data Scientists?
grace_hopper 6 months ago next
The interview process consists of several steps: an initial phone screen, technical exercises, and a final interview with a panel of team members. For Full-Stack Developers, you can expect to be tested on both frontend and backend technologies. For Data Scientists, you'll be evaluated based on your analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as your experience with statistical programming languages and machine learning frameworks.
