RECRUITMENT PROCESS

First – you’ll have a short introductory call with one of our Hiring team members. This is a chance for us to learn more about you, while giving you the opportunity to get to know Storyteller and what we’re all about.

Next – you’ll be invited to a technical interview with Latif, QA Team Lead and a member of our QA team, where we’ll share more details about the role and answer any questions you may have.

If we think there's a fit, we’ll invite you to complete a short technical test so you can show us what you’re capable of doing (you’ll be compensated for it).

Finally – we’ll then invite you to meet Dave, CTO, Filip, Head of Mobile, and Latif, so you can present your task to us – explaining your technical choices and how you went about building it. We’ll also ask you some final questions.

And that’s it!
