Our team

The following is a description of an average member of our team:

• driven by great passion for technology: the ones who love their job perform better with less effort
• open source and stackoverflow contributor: it's nice to take but it's also necessary to give something back to the community
• knowledge cruncher, the world runs fast and you have to stay up to date, read a lot and learn from those who have already faced a problem before you is definitely the right path to take
• passionate about the UNIX-like world, what's better than knowing what's happening in your pc?
• beer lover, it helps to think better :)

Interview Process

We don't have particular constraint about the mode of communication, we can meet in person or digitally.

Step1 - Let's get to know each other better

The first step is to have an informal interview, we want to know who you are, what passions you have, what you've been up to and what you'd like to do in the future. At the same time it is a good opportunity to make you understand who we are and what our vision is.

A more technical chat will follow: we will go into details about your working methods and the specific knowledge of the subject for which you are applying.

Don't worry, we will not ask trick questions and we will not ask you theorems or definitions by heart, we want to understand how you think and how you approach problems, if you have a goog basic knowledge, we can build together on that.

Step2 - Let's get our hands dirty

Finally the second meeting is to put your hands on your beloved keyboard, we will propose you a small test to understand your level of knowledge and your skills.
