Benefits include competitive compensation with equity, comprehensive healthcare, unlimited PTO, and daily meals in their NYC office.

The interview process is thorough but streamlined, including initial screens, technical evaluation, and a take-home exercise, reflecting their commitment to finding the right founding team member who can help drive their mission of transforming the testing world.
