Interview Process

We want you at your best, and won't be giving you any gotcha-style questions - we aren't like that. We want to get to know you, hear about what you're interested in, and learn about what you hope to do in the future.

You should familiarize yourself with these resources before continuing:

• Podcast appearances: (The Ryan Hanley Show, REM #22)
• Check out our Twitter and LinkedIn to get a glimpse of how people interact with our brand and product
• Some posts with and about us around the web (Inc 5000, Estate Innovation, Geek Estate Blog, Business Wire)
• Meet us and learn about Obie
• Our company’s blog to learn more about the space we’re working in, where we write about landlord insurance

You'll first talk to Kara or Rebecca on a 30 minute call; you won't need to prepare anything in advance. The goal of this conversation is to get to know you and mutually explore if we might be a good fit for each other. You'll learn more about Obie and have a chance to ask any questions about our company, team, culture, and product.

• Meet the hiring manager

You'll get to have a 45 minute video interview with the hiring manager for this role, Joel Place. This discussion will be more technical in nature to ensure you have the skills needed to be successful in the role.

• Project exercise

We will present you with a short exercise to complete, so please be thorough and use the resources available to you. More on this when you get there!

• Meet the team

Since you'll be joining a close-knit team, we'll ask you to meet other people in the company so we get to know each other a bit better.
