Goal: Mutual fit and alignment on culture and values.
Round 2: Deep Dive (30-60min)
A working session where we explore your domain expertise and how you approach problems.
This is not trivia or gotcha questions - we’re interested in how you think.
Goal: Understand your depth, judgment, and problem-solving style.

Our Principles
Speed: We aim to move from round to offer quickly, we appreciate your time.
Respect: Every round has a clear purpose. No redundant interviews.

Mutual evaluation: This is a two-way process. You’re interviewing us, too!
Bar-raising: Every hire should make the team stronger. When in doubt, we pass.
We believe in-person work is our default. We're building a team of people who desires to work side-by-side and shape the culture of a growing company. In our experiences, some of the best ideas come from being in the room, feeling the pain, hearing the nuance, and catching the details that are easy to miss.
At the same time, we’re flexible and supportive when working-from-home is needed to maintain a healthy, balanced work environment.
