If we feel you have the skillset for the position, we will reach out to have an initial interview with you. This will be a few "get to know you" questions, where we will ask you about your previous work history and background. For candidates who still seem like a good fit, we will ask you to do a second interview with the dept head. We will also ask you to do some brief take home tasks, so we can assess your skill levels. All interviews will be remote.
We are a tiny team of only 5 full time employees right now, and we have bootstrapped that team from previous contacts/co-workers. As we start to grow, it's very important to us to incorporate folks from other backgrounds with new ideas and perspectives. One of our most important values as a company is collaboration and taking the time to teach our co-workers new skills, and we're looking for teammates who have positive attitudes and the patience to nurture each other in a similar way.
