    Should You Interview?

    We dont want to waste your time. Heres a quick self?check to see if youre likely to make it through the interview process and enjoy being part of the team:

    • Technical depth: Can you comfortably answer low?level questions about , React, and PostgreSQL? These are core competencies we dont compromise on. If questions like How do you interpret a flamegraph? or How do you read an EXPLAIN ANALYZE output? leave you puzzled, this isnt the right role.
    • You thrive on steep learning curves. Our systems are large and complex it can feel like a lot at first. People who are high?agency, proactive in communication, and have a strong sense of team play tend to thrive here. If you prefer highly structured environments or need constant direction, you probably wont enjoy it.
    • You take ownership. When you hit a wall, your instinct is to debug, research, or ask the right person not wait for someone to tell you what to do. We value momentum, curiosity, and bias toward action.

    Note: Contra communicates with applicants through domains only. We never ask for money from potential employees. For the latest job postings, visit Contra Careers.
