Interview process

Our interview philosophy is maximizing transparency and minimizing time wasted.

Interviewing at a startup is a two-way street and it'd be a waste of everyone's time if you joined and you realized it was a totally different job than you signed up for.

Here's our interview process for every role.

Introductory Call minutes) Call with one of the following people — Yuxin (Co-founder, CEO) or Noah (Co-founder, CTO).

We don't have recruiters, talk to the leadership team on your first call to make sure it's a good fit.

We also walk-through expected cash/equity compensation.
Technical Take-home (Role Dependent) For engineers we have a 1 hour take-home coding interview. For all interviews, you're allowed to use any resource you will have on the job (e.g. ChatGPT, Google).

Technical Interview x 2 (1 hour/each) Let's work on the take-home assignment together (pair-programming or walking through the take-home project).

Both of these interviews are usually with the folks above or an individual contributor on the team.
Culture Fit Interview (30 minutes) Generally with the co-founder you didn't talk to
Offer

All these calls can be done over Zoom, and we can do them back-to-back or over the course of a few days.

We actively encourage you to talk to other companies because it's an important decision, but we can move as quickly as you need.

After these interviews, if you'd like to chat with other people on the team, customers, or investors, we'd be delighted to make that introduction.
