The Application Process

• Application: Please click on the link to apply. A cover letter is optional but can be a great way to tell us more about your interest in the role and what you'd bring to the team
• Preliminary Phone Screening: During this call, you will have the opportunity to speak with our Talent Acquisition Manager and share your background, skills, and interest in this opportunity.
• Introductory Interview: You'll meet with one or two members of our core engineering team. This conversation will focus on the role itself - what it involves day-to-day, the skills we're looking for and how your past experience and strengths might align. We'll also share more about how we work as a team and the kind of support we offer each other
• Technical Assessment: You’ll be invited to complete a short take-home exercise designed to give us insight into how you think and approach problems. It’s not overly time-consuming and doesn’t require perfection—we’re more interested in your problem-solving process, code structure, and communication than deep algorithmic knowledge.
• Technical Review Interview: In this follow-up, you’ll walk us through your approach to the take-home exercise. We’re interested in your reasoning, trade-offs, and how you think through problems. It’s a collaborative discussion, focused on how you work and communicate.
• Team Interview: In this second conversation, you'll meet a different set of team members. This is a chance to explore how we collaborate, communicate and approach challenges together. We'll talk more about our values, how we work cross-functionally and what growth looks like here. You'll also have space discuss your skills assessment experience, and to ask anything about our culture, expectations, or where we're headed as a company
• Final Interview: You'll meet with our President for a broader conversation about Curve's vision and how this role fits into our long-term goals. It's also a chance to discuss how your experience and ambitions align with where we're headed as a company
