How will we interview for this role?

Aptitude is our first and most important desired attribute. We need problem-solvers who make a living as coders. We need developers who can learn new tools and languages because our technology stack has a habit of evolving quickly in response to real business needs. Our technology stack is a toolbox from which we draw different tools to solve problems. Sometimes we add new tools to that toolbox. You won't find us giving random code tests or drilling you on a specific language. You can expect to be asked questions that will help us determine your ability to solve problems. We interview candidates with 2-3 interviewers so we can understand what your work style might be like in our cross-functional team environment.
