Interview process

Step-by-step

After you submit your application, our team will review your CV and your statement of exceptional work. If your application clears the initial review, you will be invited to a 15-minute phone interview where a team member will ask you some basic questions. If you pass this phone interview, you will proceed to the main selection process, which includes four technical interviews:

  • Three 1-on-1 interviews focusing on coding, systems design, or research.
  • A team interview, where you will meet more team members and deliver a 20-minute presentation on the most challenging technical problems you have solved.

We aim to complete this process within one week. We do not use recruiters for assessments. All applications are evaluated by our technical team members. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet.
