How it works

We’re a small team that is deeply technical.

We’re mostly remote, with team members in Switzerland, Portugal, Italy and Germany. We have offices in Zurich and Lisbon and every year we travel together to a cool place.

We’re a team, not a family, but we have families and want to be the kind of place where work doesn’t get in the way of that.

Engineers at DataHow have an unusual amount of autonomy and decision-making power. You will be making real product decisions that directly impact users, on a daily basis, without anyone standing over your shoulder telling you what to do.

Virtually all team communication, customer communication and documentation are in writing. We are a global company, but most of our communication is in English. Clear writing in English is essential.

The Process

We’ll invite you to a chat to pitch the company and answer all your questions about both the company and our hiring process.

If you’re sold on the gig after that, we’ll get you some lightweight front-end challenge problems and any information you need to shine on them (we don’t do gotcha problems). You’ll do these on your own time, in whatever snippets of time you have available - we’re not looking over your shoulder - and we’re aiming for this to eat substantially less time than a typical tech company interview gauntlet would.

We’ll evaluate the project we get over a 1-2 weeks period and let you know how things went. We’ll set up a final call to meet the management.

We’ll get you an offer.
