The hiring process:

It's entirely remote and runs in three stages:

— A 20-minute call with our HR representative, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about the job. We’ll also ask you to fill out a form with a few technical questions that don't require special preparation;

— a technical interview with our CTO and Core team representative. This usually takes around 60 minutes, including technical questions and a free-form feature design/review. You don’t need to write code during the interview;

— a finalizing call with Diana Kasay, CEO of Readymag.

‍

A few days after the final stage, we’ll reach out to you with a decision.
