💼 HOW WE HIRE

We believe in being clear and respectful of your time. Here’s exactly what to expect:

• Application form: a few short questions and mini tasks to get a feel for your thinking.
• HR Screening interview: This is a 20 - 30 minute interview to determine initial culture and role fit
• Technical Interview: a 60-minute conversation with the hiring manager to dig deeper into your experience, mindset, and fit.
• Paid test assignment: a realistic task (2–3 days to complete) that reflects the kind of work you’d actually do here.
• Final Interview: Usually with our Rockstar CEO, as a final seal of approval
• Offer + onboarding: if it’s a match, we move quickly

No ghosting.

No five-round interview circus.

Just a fair, focused process designed to find the right fit for both sides.

💙 WHAT WE BELIEVE (AKA: THE STUFF THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS)

We’re not just building a company. We’re building a culture where great people can do their best work, without the corporate nonsense.

Here are the beliefs that drive everything we do:

• Office politics are destructive, small-minded, and evil.
• We foster cooperation, not competition.
• We believe in open, transparent communication.
• We show appreciation and gratitude, every day.
• The best ideas win, not the loudest person in the room.

If that makes you nod your head (or say “finally!”), you’ll fit right in.
