Who are you?
We're people who:

• genuinely enjoy solving complex engineering problems
• learn quickly and do what it takes to deliver results
• work really, really hard
• move with urgency
• enjoy and value working together in person in SF 5 days a week
  

What technologies do you use?
You should have experience in:

• Javascript (Typescript, React, Node, Next)

We also prefer candidates with experience in:

What can I work on?
Our product is built and operates like a marketplace, as we serve both candidates through the interview experience and employers through the data aggregation and analysis platform. As a hands-on engineer, you will build both consumer-facing and enterprise-grade software, designed for scale.
Problems that you could work on related to consumer software are:

• How can we bring the average interviewer response latency down to 200ms?
• How can we fine-tune our models to decrease hallucination and increase response accuracy?
• How will our system architecture change as we scale to thousands more users, concurrently?
  

Problems that you could work on related to enterprise software are:

• How do we integrate with our customer's internal hiring systems?
• What's the best way to present the interview data visually and as fast as possible?
• And many, many feature requests that need to be built out!
  

What's in it for me?

• Take ownership of building the next billion dollar company
• Collaborate with a tight-knit team of talented builders
• Launch products that directly impact people's careers
• Work with the co-founders every day in-person in SF
