We stopped asking algorithm puzzles in 2021.

Three years of data from replacing whiteboard rounds with paid work samples: offer acceptance up, first-year attrition down by more than half, and a noticeably less uniform set of people. The process below is what we actually run, in the order you'll experience it.

How hiring works

Four steps. Paid at step three.

We'll tell you where you stand within two working days of every stage, including when it's a no. Being left in silence is the single most common complaint about technical hiring and it's entirely avoidable.

01

A real conversation · 30 min

With an engineer from the practice you'd join, not a recruiter reading a script. You get to ask what the work is actually like, and we'd rather you asked hard questions.

Within 3 days of applying
02

Technical discussion · 60 min

We walk through something you've built and something you've broken. No live coding under observation, no puzzles with a trick. If you can't discuss past work for confidentiality reasons, we'll use one of our own systems instead.

Two engineers, one call
03

Paid work sample · 4–6 hrs

A scoped problem shaped like our real work, done in your own time within a week. We pay ₹12,000 for it whether or not we make an offer, because your time has value and unpaid take-homes quietly filter out anyone with caring responsibilities.

Paid, alwaysYour environment
04

Team and offer · 45 min

Meet the people you'd work with daily and a practice lead. Salary band is stated in the job listing, so this conversation is about the role rather than a negotiation you're set up to lose.

Offer within 2 days
Open roles

Nine roles open right now.

Bands are annual, in INR, and are what we'll actually pay within. If none of these fit but you think we should talk, the last card is for you.

Senior Platform Engineer · Java

Event-driven systems for banking and logistics clients. You'd own architecture decisions on one platform and be the named engineer on it.

EngineeringBengaluru / Hybrid 5–9 yrs₹32–48 L

AI Engineer · Evaluation & Guardrails

The unglamorous half of AI work: eval sets, regression suites, cost budgets. If you think demos are the easy part, we'll get on well.

AIRemote / Bengaluru 3–7 yrs₹28–46 L

Staff Engineer · Cloud & Platform

Landing zones, migration waves and the FinOps conversation nobody enjoys. Six delivery centres, one platform standard to hold together.

EngineeringPune / Hybrid 8+ yrs₹42–62 L

Full-stack Engineer · TypeScript & React

Product surfaces for Atlas and Relay. Accessibility and Core Web Vitals are requirements here, not stretch goals.

EngineeringRemote 3–6 yrs₹22–36 L

QA Automation Lead

Own the test strategy across three client programmes. We want someone who'll argue against a coverage target when it's the wrong metric.

QualityBengaluru / Hybrid 6–10 yrs₹26–40 L

Data Engineer · Streaming

Kafka and Snowflake pipelines for energy and logistics clients, where late, duplicate and impossible data is the normal case.

AIRemote / Pune 4–8 yrs₹26–42 L

Product Designer · Enterprise

Interfaces used eight hours a day by people under time pressure. Research with actual operators is part of the job, not a phase.

DesignBengaluru / Remote 4–8 yrs₹24–38 L

Technical Recruiter

You'd be paired with engineers who screen alongside you. Reading a codebase isn't required on day one, but wanting to learn is.

TalentBengaluru 2–5 yrs₹9–17 L

Graduate Engineer · 2026 cohort

Twelve places. Six months of structured mentoring on a live project with a named senior, then a permanent team. No prior experience expected.

EngineeringBengaluru / Pune Graduate₹8–11 L

None of the above

If you're good and we're wrong not to have a role for you, make the case. We've created four positions in the last two years from exactly this.

What you get

Benefits, minus the fruit-bowl language.

Health cover for your family

₹10 L family floater including parents, plus outpatient and mental health cover that doesn't require a diagnosis to claim.

Genuine flexibility

40% of us are fully remote. Core overlap is four hours; the rest is yours to arrange. No badge-in metrics, ever.

Learning budget that gets used

₹1.2 L a year and eight working days. Our internal cohorts are taught by engineers who are still shipping.

26 weeks parental leave

For any parent, regardless of gender or how the child arrived. Phased return over six weeks at full pay.

Published salary bands

Internal bands are visible to everyone. Reviewed twice a year against market, and adjusted without needing to be asked.

On-call that's paid and rare

Compensated, rotated, and capped at one week in six. If a rota is firing often, we treat that as an engineering defect.
