How we hire

We want you to meet with a variety of people from different teams, and get a sense of what it’s like to work together. This means our interview process takes a bit more time than most places so we can get to know each other.

Our first interview is a conversational-style interview. The best way to prepare for this is to spend some time reflecting on all of the experiences you've had and the things you've done to bring you to the point you're at today. No need to swot up on anything, it's more of a two-sided conversation than us "grilling" you.

Next, you will receive a test. It won't be a long test, just a couple of hours maximum, and you will be fairly paid for your time.

Next you will meet several members of the team so you get to know the people you could be working with, and the problems they’re currently solving.

We make a decision after collecting lots of diverse feedback from various team members. The hiring team will take the time to meet, and come back to you with a decision.

People you'll be working with

As part of this role, you will be mostly working closely with:

• Chris Lawrence (Senior Developer)

• Ryan Smith (Senior Developer)

• Liz Wells (Senior Product Designer)

Along with the rest of the SuperHi team, external teachers and designers, and the whole of the SuperHi community!

We know companies say this (and sometimes don't mean it) but we are a 100% equal opportunities employer. We welcome anyone from any gender, race, sexuality, ability, background, age, etc. to apply. Diversity and inclusion is incredibly important to SuperHi. Our students come from all walks of life and our team should reflect that too.
