What we look for when hiring engineers

Quick answer

We hire engineers for judgement, clear communication and ownership under pressure — assessed through real project stories rather than trivia or whiteboard puzzles.

Interviews are a poor simulation of real work. So instead of puzzles, we ask people to talk about things they have actually built and decisions they have actually made.

Judgement over trivia

We care about how someone chooses a tool, handles a disagreement, or notices that a requirement is wrong. Those skills matter more than memorised syntax.

Clarity is a technical skill

If an engineer cannot explain their approach to a designer or a client, the code will eventually suffer. We look for people who make complexity understandable.

Kindness under pressure

Deadlines compress people. We pay attention to how candidates talk about past teammates and failures. Blame is a smell; ownership is a signal.

If that sounds like you, we would genuinely like to meet. Our open roles live on the careers page.
