Given open-source GitHub repos, you will be asked to get the codebases up and running locally, with passing test cases. – The project has a 2 week trial period up front to see if it’s a good mutual fit, and will extend beyond that based on performance. – You will be expected to commit between 20-40 hours per week. The hours are fully flexible and the opportunity is remote. – The application process is very simple: upload your resume, immediately take a 45-minute long interview (no wait), and then wait to hear back from us!
