• Growth. As we build this core team of engineers, we are looking for the future leaders of our company that will help guide us as we scale.

About the interview

• 15-minute call w/ Cory (CEO)
• 30-minute discussion about the role and your experience w/ Dave (CTO)

Our coding interview is very different.

Our goal is for you to be the expert on the call and to see what it's like to work with you as the new employee:

• Pick an issue on an open-source project in Golang that you think will take an hour or more.
• Don't overthink picking the issue!
• Feel free to familiarize yourself with the codebase, the issue history, the test suite - whatever you think you need to be the 'expert' during the interview. Don't share the issue with us.
• At interview time, you are in the driver seat, you are the expert. Our goal is to see what it's like to work with you on our first day.
• Please don't actually start work on the issue until the interview.
