I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Runware in Sept 2025
Interview
I recently applied for the Graduate Technical Writer position (which in reality required work closer to a DevRel role).
The assignment was practical and well-structured, and I appreciated the clarity of expectations. However, after submission, I received no update, feedback, or even a rejection email for several weeks.
Ironically, when I participated as a community member, I received quick and thoughtful feedback on my improvement suggestions. But once I became a candidate, there was complete silence — even after multiple follow-ups.
The hiring process felt non-transparent and lacking in accountability.
Rejection itself is not the issue.
What is disappointing is the approach of leaving a candidate, who invested significant time and effort, without any acknowledgment or communication.
Especially for a company that identifies itself as community-driven, I believe applicants should also be treated as partners and members of that community — not ignored once they enter the hiring process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Assignment Assessment - The task was to build a functional demo app using Runware API and present it in a workshop scenario. I needed to explain the implementation process, technical decisions, and value proposition. This wasn't just a development test but a DevRel-focused assessment that required incorporating Runware's community culture, DevEx, and sales perspectives.
