Professional development opportunities ## What to Expect in Our Hiring Process Our hiring process is designed to be thoughtful, efficient, and human. Candidates typically move through a short series of interviews over 2–3 weeks, starting with a 30-minute phone screening, followed by one or two technical conversations and a final interview with our CEO.
We focus on cultural alignment, real-world technical understanding, and career goals—not coding puzzles or LeetCode-style tests. You’ll hear back within 24 hours after each stage whenever possible. If an offer is extended, the role begins with a 30-day trial period where you’ll take ownership of a meaningful project and receive clear, ongoing feedback to ensure mutual fit.

Due to regulatory and operational requirements, we are currently only considering candidates based in the United States.
