This interview is designed to help showcase technical masteryexcellence. One of our goals with the “day-in-the-life” (DITL) exercise is to see you at your best. Some roles have a designated DITL exercise; for other roles, we offer a couple options and ask you to choose which interview option you’d like to take.
Option 1: Pragmatic technical exercise
We’d work with you on building some part of an application (depending on the role), and would ask you to implement one or more features, and then have a conversation around them. The goal is not speed or perfect typing, but instead to see how you approach the problems and what questions you ask.
The exercise will be provided at the time of the interview.
Option 2: Personal project work
Bring something you’re already working on, and let’s do a pairing session together. Are you contributing to an open source project? Working on something personal? Shape something that you’d like to tackle in a pairing session, and we’ll work through it together.
It would be helpful to send us information about the project ahead of the interview so we can have time to prepare; also, please do not include anything related to your work, or anything that could be considered confidential.
Option 3: Choose your own interview
Have an idea for the interview? What do you think it should be? Let us know. Again, our goal is to see you operate in your zone of genius.
