Our Interview Process
We run a focused, high-signal process designed to be fast, thoughtful, and respectful of your time. Our goal is mutual clarity - not unnecessary hoops.

A short conversation to get to know each other.
We’ll talk about your background, motivations, and what you’re looking for. You’ll learn more about us, the role, and how we work.
Goal: Mutual fit and alignment on culture and values.
Round 2: Deep Dive (30-60min)

This is not trivia or gotcha questions - we’re interested in how you think.
