About the interview
Introduction zoom chat with a cofounder
This is an informal call for us to meet each other and get to know one another. The conversation will cover some light technical discussion about your past projects and your ability to code and build fairly involved systems. We would like to hear details about those projects and both your product and technical decisions (good or bad) which show ownership and autonomy. We also want to understand what you are looking for in your next role and why you are interested in early-stage startups. You will get to ask us about the role and learn about what working at SkyLink will feel like.
Two technical interviews
These technical interviews will give you an ability to show off your NLP and ML skills and your ability to think about and design real world chatbots with LLMs. We will also evaluate your ability to critically think, create complex backends, and scale real world systems.
