Next steps can vary by role, but will include an interview with a focus on the technical requirements for the role, an interview with a focus on team fit/add and cultural fit/add and a founder interview. Other assessments can be part of the process (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer, a portfolio review for a designer, deeper experience meetings for other roles). We prioritize transparency and honesty throughout the process.
