Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How many interviews will there be?
We keep our process lean — usually three stages, occasionally four. You’ll always know exactly what to expect, because we include the process outline in every job posting. In your first conversation, our recruiter walks you through the full timeline.
What type of interviews do you conduct?
We mix behavioral, situational, and role-specific questions to get a complete picture of how you think and work. Many roles also include a short assignment or skills demo — not a test for the sake of it, but a chance to show how you approach real problems.
Will there be an assignment?
Sometimes. If so, it’s always a later stage, never early — and we’ll compensate you for your time. We keep these lightweight and relevant, designed to help both sides confirm fit.
What if I need an accommodation during the interview process?
We want every candidate to have a fair, accessible experience. If you need any accommodations during the process, let us know at careers@pinpointhq.com.
How would you describe the culture at Pinpoint?
No one hands you a playbook — you get context, a clear outcome, and the trust to figure out the how. People have strong opinions and share them, and the best idea wins wherever it comes from. The team is lean and the problems are complex, so growth tends to be real and fast. We’re remote-first and ship weekly, so communication is intentional and the pace is real.
What does work/life balance look like at Pinpoint?
We’re a startup, so things move fast. Autonomy, trust, and flexibility are real here — we expect people to take ownership, and we also expect them to log off.
Is Pinpoint fully remote?
We’re a remote-first company and nearly all roles are fully remote. Some roles include occasional in-person time such as team offsites — when that’s the case, we’ll say so clearly in the job description.
Where is the team based?
We’re about 100+ people across 11 countries — roughly 70% in the UK, 25% in the US, and the rest across Europe.
What’s Pinpoint’s runway?
We bootstrapped to 500+ customers and $5M ARR before raising private equity in 2023. We run on sensible unit economics, have never had layoffs, and are building for the long term — not the next funding round.
What is your tech stack?
Our stack is pragmatic and maintainable: Ruby on Rails, React with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Sidekiq, and CI/CD via CircleCI (moving to GitHub Actions). You can see the full stack here.
Can I learn more about the product?
Absolutely — you can watch a full demo of our product here.
What does unlimited holiday actually mean?
Everyone is encouraged to take real time off. Last year the average was 5.5 weeks. We trust you to manage your energy and take breaks when you need them.
Can you share more about the benefits?
You can find the full overview here — but in short: equity, unlimited holiday, comprehensive healthcare, fully paid parental leave, a learning budget, and supplemental mental health support via Spill.
How does AI factor into working at Pinpoint?
We use AI across the business — in our product, in our workflows, and in how we hire. We expect people joining us to be genuinely curious about AI and actively using it in their work: not cautiously, not occasionally, but as a real part of how they get things done.
How does AI factor into your hiring process?
AI plays a small, supportive role — it helps us work efficiently, but it never makes decisions. Every application is reviewed by a person, and every hiring decision is made by our team.
Can I use AI to help with my application?
Using AI to polish your resume or tighten your writing is fine — what matters is that everything you submit accurately reflects your own experience and skills. If your process includes an assignment, that work needs to be your own. We’re assessing how you think, not how well you can prompt a model.
Can I use AI during a live interview?
No — live interviews are a conversation, and we want to hear how you think, so using AI tools to generate or reference answers in real time isn’t permitted. That said, we genuinely want people who use AI in their day-to-day, and we’ll ask about it. Just bring your own thinking to the interview itself.
I don’t see a relevant opening — what should I do?
Register your interest and we’ll contact you when a suitable role meeting your criteria comes along.
