About the interview process

_This will be in three stages:

1. You will meet with Joel, Joanna and Tom for a peer review - this will be an opportunity to show how you structure your approaches and they will be looking out for logical answers. You will go through coding practices with Joanna and will learn about some of the problems we’re facing at Felcana, giving you the opportunity to show how you would tackle this (e.g. memory issues).
2. If you pass the first stage you will meet with Rafa for a discussion about how you would build out the new platform as infrastructure. He will want to understand your approaches to the scalability of the system, how you would build out new pipelines, help build the foundations, any experience you have of making a system robust and migrating systems from one location to another.
