Interview Process

We don't have particular constraint about the mode of communication, we can meet in person or digitally.

Step1 - Let's get to know each other better

The first step is to have an informal interview, we want to know who you are, what passions you have, what you've been up to and what you'd like to do in the future. At the same time it is a good opportunity to make you understand who we are and what our vision is.

A more technical chat will follow: we will go into details about your working methods and the specific knowledge of the subject for which you are applying.

Don't worry, we will not ask trick questions and we will not ask you theorems or definitions by heart, we want to understand how you think and how you approach problems, if you have a goog basic knowledge, we can build together on that.

Step2 - Let's get our hands dirty

Finally the second meeting is a technical one, we will propose you some problem to analyze together in order to understand your level of knowledge and your skills. We will also discuss about infrastructure design and reliability.
