How we proceed after the first talk: 📞

Because we think finding and hiring team members is one of the most important things we need to do right as a company, we designed a simple process so you know exactly how we proceed. We like to be quick, and typically complete our interview process within 2 weeks.

1. Step 1: Apply for the job and give us a good impression of yourself. Next to a LinkedIn/CV, we are even more interested in personal projects that you are proud of.

2. Step 2: You’ll have a quick 30-minute introduction call to one of the founders or software engineering lead, where we are mainly interested in who you are, what you value and where you are proud of. We may highlight some interesting things we read in your application but we certainly are not going to discuss your CV step-by-step.

3. Step 3: We invite you for our case assignment and give you a nice coding challenge. You work on the case by yourself but we will be available for questions. Preferably you will present your case to 2 team members with who you are likely to work together with in your job. We value your time, so we timebox the challenge to a maximum of 3 hours. Remember, experience is a nice bonus, but we mainly look at your engineering potential and team fit.

4. Step 4: To make sure you will feel at home at Deeploy you meet another founder and team member to make sure no one has any doubts that you should be working at Deeploy soon!
