-A Note About How We Hire

First, we don't use screening software; real humans will review your application. Second, we're not interested in plugging people into product or client silos. Rather than start the recruitment process with a rigidly predefined role, we prefer to outline a wish list of skills and aptitudes and seek candidates who possess a mix of some of them. When a particular skill or educational requirement is non-negotiable, we indicate that in our job descriptions. Otherwise, we hope that interested job seekers will apply and let us know the areas of growth that interest them most.
