01
Recruiter conversation
A first chat with someone from our talent team about what you’re looking for and what the role actually involves. It works both ways, so bring the questions that would make or break it for you.
Four conversations, start to finish
Most roles follow the same path. If yours is different, your recruiter will tell you.
02
Hiring team interview
Time with the team you’d be joining. You’ll go deep on your experience, and leave with a clear picture of what the first six months look like.
03
Craft interview
A role-dependent practical exercise to see how you work and solve problems. It could be a pair programming session, a case study and presentation, or an assignment.
04
Co-founder interview
A leadership conversation focused on values alignment and mutual fit. It’s as much about whether Phoenix is right for you as the other way around.
Four things that help us understand your work
Come ready with these and we’ll get a clear, consistent picture of what you’ve done, and a good sense of what you’d bring here.
Walk us through your experience
We’d love to hear you speak directly to your contributions, the initiatives you drove, and the impact you had.
Be ready to speak to a complex project
One you’ve led or contributed to: what the challenge was, how you approached it, and how you measured success.
Show us growth
What moved, by how much, and what you did to get it there.
We love hearing about data
The metrics you tracked, the baselines you started from, and the numbers that prove it worked (or didn’t).
A little preparation goes a long way
You don’t need to rehearse. These are the things that tend to help.
Spend ten minutes on us
Have a look at Phoenix and Raven, and at what we treat. You’ll get more out of your questions if you already know roughly what we do.
Bring examples, not summaries
Pick two or three pieces of work you know inside out. Specifics travel much further than a tidy overview of your whole career.
Have your own questions ready
You’re deciding too. The sharper your questions, the better a read you’ll get on whether this is the right move.
Say the half-finished thing
One of our values is showing the wet paint. We’d rather hear how you’re actually thinking about a problem than a polished answer you’ve pre-written.
Check your setup
Most conversations happen over video. A quiet spot and a working camera and mic save everyone the first five minutes.
Tell us what you need
If you need an accommodation at any point in the process, tell your recruiter. We’ll arrange it, and it won’t affect how your application is considered.
