• Step 1 - Screening 20-30-minute video call with Todora to dive deeper into your skillset.

• Step 4 - Meet the team . 90 minutes (split in smaller sessions in the same day). This is not really an interview, it's an opportunity to meet some of the amazing people you'd be working with to help you know if you want to join our team.
