The Hiring Process
During the hiring process, you'll have a chance to interact with several team members. We strongly encourage you to bring any questions to anybody you interact with. You're interviewing us as much as we're interviewing you.
Applications will be accepted until 9AM PST on March 11th. We will evaluate and respond to submissions between March 11th and 15th, and Zoom interviews will take place between March 18th and 26th, with a final decision being made no later than April 2nd.
Below is an outline of our hiring process.
Step one: Apply with a resume and cover letter. Your cover lettershould speak directly to your interest in this position. We want to know what got you into QA, how your experience has set you up for success in this role, and why you want to join our team.
Step two: Complete the "Written Testing Plan" exercise we send, so we can get a rough understanding of your experience and skills.
Step three: Blind Zoom Screen (no camera) so we can connect and get to know you better.
Step four: Exercise interview with a few people from the QA and Product department (We'll discuss your testing plan and ask deeper questions about your work history and approach to QA).
Step five: Team Interview with a few people from the QA and Product departments, including the QA Manager, Engineering Manager, and a QA Tester, recruiter, or director of another department.
Step six: Pending all goes well, an offer will be extended, and you get to consider if we're a good fit for you.
* Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet ~60% of the criteria, women and those in underrepresented groups in tech tend to apply only when they check every box. If you're unsure if your experience qualifies strong competency, we'd still love to hear from you
As part of the application process for our Quality Assurance (QA) positions, we are requesting all applicants to submit a written testing plan. The focus of this plan should be on the Groups Messaging feature, a critical component of our product suite that operates across multiple platforms, including mobile and web environments.
