What the hiring process looks like... typically

Our interview process consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code test with a call to review your solution, and a half-day on-site interview.

The on-site consists of two rounds:

iOS technical

You'll meet 2 other iOS engineers. Together we'll go over some technical challenges we've faced as a company. We'll ask you to come up with designs to solve these problems, and we'll ask you questions about your experience using Swift in production.

General technical

You'll meet 2 engineers from different disciplines. We'll go through some technical problems you've solved in the past, and we'll go through some general engineering problems together. We're not testing your knowledge, but how you respond to problems you haven't solved before.

We understand that everyone's situation is different, that you may be able to dedicate more or less time to this process, or have other restrictions. If any of our process is challenging for you and you'd like us to offer an alternative *please* let us know. We're committed to finding the right people, and don't want anyone to be excluded because of circumstances.
