How we hire in 2026 (and why we do not do coding tests)

Trials, portfolios, and a hard limit on interview loops.

We do not do multi-round coding tests. We do a paid 3-day trial on a real ticket.

The trial tells us in 72 hours what a five-round loop tells us in six weeks.

It also tells the candidate whether they want to work here — which matters just as much.

The process, end to end

  • Portfolio or repository review — we look at shipped work, not certificates.
  • One 45-minute conversation about how you think and what you have owned.
  • A paid three-day trial on a real ticket, with a mentor available all day.
  • A decision within a week. No silent rejections, ever.

Why no whiteboard tests

Algorithm puzzles measure interview practice, not delivery. The work we actually do is reading an unfamiliar codebase, asking the right question early, and shipping something a client can use on Friday. The trial measures exactly that.

What we look for

  • Clear writing — most of our coordination is written.
  • Judgement about scope: knowing what not to build.
  • Care for accessibility and performance as defaults, not extras.
  • Comfort talking directly to a client without a layer of translation.

Who we hire for

Engineers, product designers and digital marketers, mostly in Sri Lanka, with remote flexibility — the same people who deliver our custom software projects and AI automation work. Interns get the same trial process and the same pay for it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the trial paid?

Yes. Three days of real work at a fair rate, whether or not we make an offer.

Do you hire juniors and interns?

Yes. We look for evidence of shipped work — a personal project counts — rather than years of experience.

Can I apply if there is no open role listed?

Yes. Send work you are proud of through the careers page; we keep strong applications on file and often open roles around them.

You bring the ambition.
We bring the ship.

A thirty-minute call. No deck, no funnel — a real conversation about what you want to build and whether we're the team to build it with you.
