Five stages. No riddles.
Hiring processes reveal what a firm actually values. Ours is built to measure how you think about real problems, quickly, and to waste none of your time doing it. Every stage below is the whole truth of it.
Application
The forms on the careers page ask real questions because we read real answers. No cover letter theatre: tell us what you have built, traded, proven or fixed.
Our end of the deal: a human reads every application, and every applicant gets an answer.
Work sample
A problem in your discipline, done on your own time: a small modelling exercise, a code review, a market reasoning question. It is designed to take an evening, not a weekend, and to look like the actual job.
Technical interviews
Two conversations with people you would work with. Expect probability, systems, and market reasoning, anchored to your work sample. We care how you handle being wrong: updating fast beats never missing.
The desk day
Half a day with the team, in the office, working something real together. You are interviewing us too: watch how we disagree, how we decide, and whether you would want your name on our work.
Decision
Fast, and with reasons. If it is a yes, the offer explains exactly how pay works. If it is a no, we say why, and reapplying after six months is genuinely welcome, not a polite fiction.
What we are actually measuring
Three things, at every stage: whether your reasoning is measured rather than confident, whether you are honest about what you do not know, and how fast the loop runs from your mistake to your correction. Credentials open the door; these three decide it.
Questions we always get
Can I work remotely?
The desk works from Sydney, in person. Some engineering roles flex hybrid or remote, and each listing says which. We would rather be clear than flexible-sounding.
Do you sponsor visas?
Case by case, for exceptional candidates. Say so in your application and we will tell you honestly at stage one whether sponsorship is realistic for that role.
I'm a first-year. Is this page for me?
You have your own doors: the first-year internship and the mentorship program. The process above is for full-time roles.
How should I prepare?
Do the thing, not the meta-thing. Build the project, trade the paper account, work the probability problems. Interview prep courses teach you to sound like everyone else, which is the opposite of what we are hiring for.
