The process
1. Intro call (30 min) — with the hiring manager, not a recruiter.
2. Technical conversation (90 min) — we discuss a real system you have worked on. No whiteboard algorithms.
3. Paid work sample (4 hrs) — a scoped, realistic problem. We pay for your time at your day rate.
4. Team conversation (60 min) — with people you would actually work beside.
