Our interviewing process
We start with a recruiter screen and a manager screen, then move to interviews with the team. We intend to make the most of your valuable time.
Onsite schedule
Order and specific interviews are subject to change.
Interviewing tips
<aside>
🔑
The onsite will be just as much a time for you as it will be for us. We want you to leave feeling confident in your understanding of us and how we work!
</aside>
- Bring questions about the product, not just the job: The best questions are about what we're building and the bets we're making, and they follow up on our answer. Logistics questions are welcome too; Jenna ([email protected]) is the best person for those.
- Answer, then stop: Lead with the answer, then the story. Short and direct is the goal; we'll ask for more if we want it.
- Answer fully: After giving an answer, ask "did I answer your question?" Interviewers often won't follow up if they didn't get what they needed, and you'll never know what got missed.
- Be specific about your part: Say "I" for what you did and "we" for the team. We'll ask, so it's easier to say it up front.
- Show us how you work with AI: Where it helps, how you judged the output, and what you wouldn't trust it with. Specific beats enthusiastic.
- Bring a POV: We'd rather hear a sharp opinion you can defend than a careful, balanced non-answer. Disagree with us if you do. We'll respect it.
- Breathe: Have fun with it. We want to get to know you.
Portfolio deep dive tips
<aside>
🔑
This is a deep dive, not a tour. Bring 1–2 projects, no more. We'd rather go deep on one than skim three. Take us into how you designed it: the structure you put on the problem, and the execution that came from it. We want to see the work.

✅ The format at a glance
- 1–2 projects max. One project shown well beats two rushed.
- 45 minutes: 25 for you to present (including a 1-minute intro), 20 for us to dig in together.
