To apply
Submit your resume. If you look like a good fit for the team, you'll be invited to take a code challenge. Only ~10% of applicants are invited to take the code challenge. Based on the results of your code challenge, you may be invited to interview. If you're not comfortable doing a code challenge project, then you're not a good fit.
We look forward to working with you!
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
