Getting to know each other in a hiring process can take a lot of time and effort. We try to keep things as lean as possible at every stage. Here's how the process works:



1. You apply with a CV. We do not need a full-blown cover letter, but do tell us briefly why you'd like to join TheNextWe. This should come from the heart. Please also share some of your work (links to git repos, you StackOverflow profile, a portfolio page… anything that lets us get an impression of how you work). Last but not least, let us know your earliest possible start date.

2. We review your application. If there is significant overlap with our requirements, we'll schedule a video call, so we can each get a more detailed impression and talk about the role in more detail.

3. We give you a small architecture/design/coding challenge, depending on what we learned about you so far, and your available time.

4. We review your challenge response.

5. If we both want to continue at this stage, there will be a final call with our leadership.



We are looking forward to getting to know you!
