I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kin Insurance (Austin, TX) in Jan 2024
Interview
An initial interview with the recruiter, followed by interviews with the hiring director, two senior engineers for an architectural discussion, product manager and scrum master, and a final interview with the CTO. Overall, everyone seemed very nice, down-to-earth, competent, and professional. Kin cares about culture which is evident by the extensive interview process which I found to be a good thing. Derek the recruiter was top-notch and very supportive throughout the interview process. He really embodies the qualities of a great recruiter and I wish more recruiters at other companies followed his example and values when working with candidates. At the end of the day the role was not meant to be, but I wish Kin much success as they grow and do greater things.

How would you deal with an underperforming team member? How would you build up and develop your team? How would you push back on new feature work?
