Interview process

We want our interview process to be as straightforward and enjoyable as possible, where we put a lot of effort on making the process as close to the experience of working with us as possible.

The first step will be a quick call to discuss the basics and decide whether it's a good fit

Follow up with a domain specific exercise (if preferred, you can provide us with a great piece of work you've been responsible for and we can discuss that)

A one hour general technical interview (that is actually relevant to the job), usually this is in the form of pairing together to work through some real issues or case studies

Once finished we're pretty quick to let you know the outcome, to which you'll be invited to an optional (& compensated) trial period to which you can see if the job meets your expectations. Trials usually last between 1-3 months.
