Our Hiring Process
We focus on real-world skills – not whiteboard tricks. Here's what to expect:

2. 90-Minute Live Coding Session
You'll pair with one of our engineers to build a small, production-like feature using Go and TypeScript React.
We'll look at:
- How you think through product requirements
- How you model data and structure code
- Your testing, naming, and documentation habits
- How you handle edge cases and incomplete specs
- The session mirrors our actual development workflow: accessible, pragmatic, collaborative
3. Technical Review & Feedback
After the session, we'll walk through your code together. You'll get feedback from us, and we'll discuss your decisions, trade-offs, and any areas for improvement.
4. Culture & Alignment Chat
A final call with CEO to discuss your long-term goals, how you work best, and whether Autopilot is the right fit for both sides.
