Summary

In 2022, incident.io's engineering interview process was made more transparent and accessible to candidates. Since then, as the company has grown to 80 people across London, San Francisco, and New York, the interview process has evolved to reflect better who they are and what makes engineers successful there. The overall structure of the interview process for engineers remains similar, but with changes in how they evaluate candidates, particularly in their Hiring Manager interview. This interview now focuses more on product thinking and the ability to ship features effectively, rather than just technical skills. The interview process includes an initial call, a Hiring Manager interview, a Technical challenge, a System design interview, and a Culture interview, each designed to assess different aspects of a candidate's skills and fit for the company. The key differences in their current process include giving more emphasis to product thinking, values-based evaluation, and preparation, with the goal of finding engineers who can raise the pace and win together.
