Hi Andrew, can you describe the interview process for this opportunity? Interest in the actual details, are you giving short home tasks, or online tasks, or whiteboard? Besides talking to people, of course :) Thanks.
2-3 total interviews, with a 30-min home task after the first one. You should apply if you think you're a fit! You'd love working at Brainscape. Very high-energy, mission-driven, 100% distributed team . . . .
Hi Andrew, is it an only US position? I'm in México and would like to apply
