Our 5-Step Vetting Process
Every engineer goes through rigorous screening before joining our talent pool.
Resume & Portfolio Screening
We review educational background, professional experience, project history, and code samples. Candidates must have at least 2 years of professional experience.
Technical Coding Assessment
A timed, language-specific coding challenge covering data structures, algorithms, and practical problem-solving.
System Design Interview
A live interview where candidates design a system architecture, reasoning about consistency vs. availability, SQL vs. NoSQL, monolith vs. microservices.
Communication & Culture Fit
A conversational interview in English to assess verbal and written communication, ability to explain technical concepts, and comfort working across time zones.
Paid Trial Project
The final round is a paid trial on a real-world task under real conditions — with Git, code reviews, and a deadline. The most reliable signal of actual performance.
