What does the interview process look like?
We are passionate and deliberate about hiring high performance individuals. This means our interview process is not for average people. After the 5 mile run, you will be given a cognitive test to ensure you can do complex quantum calculations in your head while doing pull ups. OK not really but our interview process is designed to find the people who will thrive here. It looks basically like the following:

Recruiter screening
90 Min - Interview #1 is a culture fit interview with some sanity checks of your skillset.
90 Min - Interview #2 is a technical interview to probe your knowledge. This role is not a hands-on technical role day-to-day but you need to be technically sound to lead technical people and especially to lead strategy.
90 Min - Interview #3 is a collaboration interview where you will meet with other leaders to see what working with you is like.
30 Min - Interview #4 is rare but could have a small follow up for any clarifications.

On the whole, our interviews fly by and are more like conversations and celebrations of your biggest achievements but you will absolutely be challenged and evaluated. It won’t feel like a court trial but it will be thorough. This is your time to shine and be authentic and recognize we are looking for a fit for the company but the company must fit you also or this won’t work.

In Return for Your Expertise, You Will Receive:

Excellent benefits including health, dental, and vision insurance, stock options, work from home and flexible scheduling depending on job requirements, professional development opportunities, 9 paid holidays, and 15 days PTO.
Home office setup support for remote employees.
A welcome “swag bag” with branded clothing as an official welcome to the team.
The chance to work for an organization that puts people first and fosters a culture of teamwork, integrity, communication, accountability, and positive attitude!
