About the interview process

We’ll do short initial call to discuss the company, role and candidate background, answer questions and assess interest on both sides. If it makes sense we’ll schedule a half day for the candidate to work on a technical exercise either remotely or with us in our Charlotte office (if you plan to work 100% remote you will not have to come on-site for an interview but we would like you to come out for a facility tour after hire). We’ll use this time to get to know each other a bit more and assess technical capability. Afterward we’ll review the work produced, discuss internally and get back to the candidate within 48 hours.
