Our Recruiting Procedure

• All positions require you to write a one-page cover letter (you can also substitute the cover letter for a snippet of code that will run on the signaloid.io platform; be creative!). We use this to screen for communication skills, as clear communication is essential in a remote working environment.
• Applicants who pass the cover letter screening receive an initial 15-minute Zoom screening call with a member of our People Development Team to discuss your CV.
• Applicants who pass the screening interview, regardless of the position you are interviewing for, will be given a real-world project to solve over the course of one week (or two weeks if they are currently employed in a full-time job). In exchange for your time, we give you two books relevant to the rest of the interview process and £500 worth of free credits on the Signaloid Cloud Developer Platform.
• Applicants who successfully complete the project are invited for a set of one-hour interviews with people from our core teams (there will be up to six such interviews) which will use the project you completed as a discussion point.
• In the final stage, applicants are invited for an on-site interview with members of the team in Cambridge.

A flexible remote-first work environment

• Be part of an international team with the flexibility to choose where you live
• You can work any set of eight hours in a day provided four of those hours overlap with the working day in Zurich
• Join the rest of the team every three months for an in-person session somewhere in Europe

Competitive compensation

• All roles pay in the top decile of similar roles in London, adjusted for the OECD cost of living in your chosen domicile country
• Yearly bonus based on company's Objectives and Key Results (OKR) performance and bi-yearly bonus based on your project team's OKR performance
• Simple transparent compensation across the company, with four pay levels, in all roles, based on skill level: Contributor, Senior Contributor, Lead Contributor, and Principal Contributor
• All full-time employees receive attractive stock options package

A driven but respectful environment

• Our motto is "We're all going to die": We never speak ill of others even if we differ in our viewpoints; we show up every day with a sense of urgency; we treat each other with respect as though each day were our last.
