[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 469 ms ] threadWork from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you're done.
I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.
Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.
Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.
The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...
I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.
If I wanted to set aside a time period of say, 8 contiguous hours every week, during which I wanted to do as many interviews as possible, how many could I expect to be able to fit in?
You could do roughly 5 interviews in 8 hours if you account for breaks and everything. It's possible to do more than that, but I'd say that's the happy fill rate. I've done more than that and it starts to be excessive.
* Interviewer has less experience than me and wasn't able to understand some concepts.
* Interviewer has no experience with the language I was using (and interviewing for).
* I solved all the challenges and answered all the questions, but the decision was no-go, for some reason (they don't provide feedback).
* I may be wrong here, but they also did recording without my consent. They should ask "Are you ok with recording?". Instead, they just record and violate California recording laws which require consent by both parties.
I think they did very poor job (however, I admit I am biased here). You need to be extra careful interviewing with them. There are some signs that their process is not organized and things don't work very well.
Anyway, I'd love to dive into the specifics if you want to shoot me an email. I understand if you're not comfortable doing that, but a lot of what you're describing sounds inconsistent with our normal process, so I want to see what went wrong. Even if we didn't actually screw any of this up, there's still a good chance we communicated in a way where you left feeling that we did. Either way, I'd like to fix it.

I just joined Tanium in January, and I love it already. I like the product, I like my team, I like the culture. I never feel like I'm the smartest guy in the room.
Tanium's product is basically computer management/security for government and large enterprises. What makes it special is that it's reliable and fast - customers love us!
Lt. Gen. Bill Bender, the former CIO of the US Air Force, said before he retired that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [1]
Tanium is about 650~700 people, profitable, and growing fast. We're hiring for all kinds of roles, but I'll call out a few interesting ones below. Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self directed/unlimited vacation (most folks take 4~5 weeks).
--
Senior Software Engineer - $120~160k+ - (My role.) The core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js - we'll probably upgrade from AngularJS to something newer eventually, but it works for now). There's also small but growing amounts of Rust and Python.
Most Product Engineers work on site, but we also consider candidates for US Remote work (pick the closest one) - SF: https://grnh.se/ixfioowp1 | RTP: https://grnh.se/bxio4pg51

Associate & Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization within Tanium doesn't really have any parallels that I'm aware of elsewhere. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising maybe 2-5 customers for how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.
Remote or on site in one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Japan, or USA.
Associate TAM - $80~130k: https://grnh.se/slpflp3j1
Director TAM - $120~170k+: https://grnh.se/r64ytqkl1 (Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but it is not a people-managing role.)
