Please tell us about your experience and why youโre interested.\n1. Initial call with the CEO to learn more about each other\n1. Second call with the CTO to learn more about each other\n1. Short pair-programming session to see how you work in action\n1. If it's a good fit, weโll make you an official offer in writing\n1. If you accept, weโll meet up in person for on-boarding\*\*\*\n\n\*\*\* Either weโll fly to you, you fly to us or we meet somewhere in between. Of course reasonable travel expenses would be covered. \n\n# Requirements\nPlease write to us at [email protected] and ensure you tell us about your experience, linking to anything relevant we should look at and why you would be interested in join us. \n\nPlease mention the words **FAINT OLD TAXI** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMjU=).
