Process

We don't test brain teasers so there's no point of cheating the interview. Just be yourself.

We don’t believe in the conventional interview process – we believe it delivers minimal signals and fails to truly capture a builder’s potential. That’s why we’ve designed a process that values what you can build over what you can say.

Here’s How It Works:  

  1. 2 - 3 Rounds of Video Chats – No Leetcode. No brainteasers. Just real conversations.  

    1. 1-2 Technical Round - be yourself.

    2. 1 Behavior Round

  2. Your Story Matters – We care about what you’ve built before and the impact you’ve made.  

  3. Paid Work Trial (4-5 Days) – If the fit feels right, you’ll dive right in and build with us. Get paid to show your skills in action.

What We Value:  

  1. Hackers, Builders, and Doers – If you live to create, solve problems, and push boundaries, you’ll feel right at home. 

  2. Your Craft and Passion – Not just words, but what you can build. We’re looking for creators who bring ideas to life. 

  3. Challengers of the Norm – We believe in a better way to hire. If you’re bold enough to help us build it, let’s talk.


💡 No Buzzwords. No Pretenses. Just Building. If you’re ready to break the mold and build something extraordinary, join us and let’s redefine the future of hiring – together.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
