Seattle Office
Not feeling like San Francisco is your place? We have an amazing second engineering office located in downtown Seattle for those who appreciate life in the Pacific Northwest. This location is near the Seattle Convention Center and easily accessible from most Seattle neighborhoods via public transit. Not to be outdone by the San Francisco office, this office offers stunning views of the Cascades and Mount Rainier and we offer snacks and other perks too!
We are currently looking for amazing Software Engineers at the Seattle office.
Interview Process
We review tons of resumes! Okay, maybe not tons, but thousands!! We value your time for checking us out and submitting your resume, so don't think it did not go unnoticed.
Here's the simple process we have that helps us getting through them all:
- We review all incoming resumes and pick the ones that best fit our open positions.
- Next, we schedule a brief phone screen with folks we think would be a good match.
- After the phone screen, we invite candidates for an on-site interview.
- We make a decision within 48 hours, and often sooner.
During the phone screen for engineering positions, we like to ask a simple coding question. We use a collaborative document sharing tool to make the task easier (e.g. Type With Me). The solution is typically a few lines of code and takes no more than 5 minutes.
The on-site interview is approximately a 3-4 hour process. We usually have 3 engineers interview candidates. Each engineer has his own interview style, but we generally give each candidate an opprotunity to interview us about Clustrix, discuss the candidate's past experience, and ask a 15-20 minute whiteboard coding question. Your answer doesn't have to be perfect; we're mostly looking for proficiency in C, an understanding of data structures, and a structured approach to problem solving.
Our interview process is tough, but that also means that you will get to work with bright and skilled people, solving difficult problems.
