About the interview
At Rollstack, we’re looking for engineers who enjoy iterating, shipping quickly, and solving customers’ problems. We want individuals who exhibit a strong sense of ownership and have a get-things-done mentality. Our engineering team defines and drives its technical agenda to continuously iterate on the product and solve our customers’ most important problems.
Our interview process is designed to find these kinds of engineers:
- Two technical interviews, one with our CTO and one with one of our engineers. The format is some technical questions and some live coding exercises. We also try to ask questions relevant to the type of product we build. Use the language of your choice during these interviews.
- Two fit interviews with the other cofounders. These are not technical.
