Our Hiring Process
- Stage 1
Initial
This will be a 30-minute conversation with our VP of Talent, Mike.
After getting some context around your background and interest in the role, we’ll dig into a handful of role-specific questions focused on how you work—drawing on past examples, how you think through new or ambiguous situations, and how you’d approach challenges relevant to this role. This isn’t a line-by-line resume walkthrough; it’s about understanding how you operate in a fast-moving, high-ownership startup environment.

Portfolio Presentation
This is an opportunity for you to showcase your portfolio and walk the Head of Design and another Designer through some of your past work. We’re interested in understanding the thought processes behind your projects, your approach to design and collaboration, and how your experience aligns with this role.
We value transparency and openness—so feel free to ask any questions you have, whether about the team, the role, or feedback from the previous call. This process is as much about you assessing us as it is about us assessing you.
Please be prepared to share your screen via Zoom to present your portfolio. If you have any technical concerns, let us know in advance, and we’ll assist you.
- Stage 3
Panel Interview
In this panel interview, we’ll want to learn more about your approach and experience around key areas like accessibility, dealing with ambiguity, stakeholder management, problem-solving, and strategic thinking.
Expect to discuss how you approach inclusive design, navigate uncertainty, advocate for design decisions, collaborate with technical teams, and align with our company values.
We’re interested in real-world examples of your work and how you handle challenges.
We’ll leave plenty of time at the end for you to ask any questions about the role, the team, or anything else on your mind. This is a mutual exploration to ensure the best fit for both you and us.
