We'll then do a technical assessment with a couple of ReadMe engineers. Finally we'll invite you to an "onsite" interview conducted over Zoom!

We start with a 15-minute get-to-know-you with the people you'll be interviewing with, and then have you talk with people one-on-one later on. We'll let you know how things went within a week! If it still seems like a good fit all around, we'll extend you an offer! If not, we will update you to let you know so you aren't left hanging. ✨ Our benefits include...
