Interview Process

 

Kudos for submitting your application, you’ll be hearing from us within the next 48 hours!

Well done, you scored an interview! We’ll set up a Google Meet for an initial screening with a member of our Talent team to formally introduce you to Fueled! You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have. This screening will last approximately 30 minutes.

The next step in our process requires you to complete a minimal coding exercise and submit back to us within a given timeframe. If your code exercise passes our evaluation, we’ll set up a technical interview with one of our Web developers. In this interview we will ask you to make adjustments to your code, so please be prepared. This chat will last approximately 30 minutes.

If all goes well after the technical round, you'll chat with Saurabh Kumar (Director of Web Engineering) to better assess your skills and experience. In this call, you’ll be able to ask questions about team dynamics, current practices, expectations, etc. The interview will be approximately 1 hour. 

Finally, you'll chat with Aubryn Thompson (Managing Director) and Lisa Kerner (Director of Operations) and Sage Young, Executive Director of Engineering. At this point in the process, the team has deemed you technically qualified for the role, so the conversation is more of a courtesy chat to give you the  opportunity to ask any outstanding questions you have about the organization.
