  • Technical interview

    In this 1 to 2-hour session (role-dependent), you'll engage with your future manager and a peer from the team to assess your technical proficiency. They'll discuss your case study, pose expertise-related questions, and simulate problem-solving scenarios. The session also offers time for your inquiries.

  • Meeting with one of our co-founders

    You're close! Next up: a 30-minute meeting with a Kiln co-founder. It's a crucial opportunity for both sides to ensure the perfect match at the highest level. They will evaluate your drive and alignment with our company's vision.
