I applied online. I interviewed at Streak (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2024
Interview
Really laid back interview. I got the impression that I was not a top candidate, but they were interested in me. Very quickly into the interview I got the vibe that I wasn't a good fit, questions got snarky and a bit "well I know better than you". Maybe I was just the interview to confirm the other candidates they were going to move forward with.

Question 1
What sparked your interest in working for Streak?
Have you ever used Streak?
Interview was a take-home project, then a four hour working interview, then an interview with the CEO. The interview itself was a way for the team to see how good of a fit you'd be, show off your skills, and for you to sus out what the job would be like. In that sense it was very effective.

Question 1
Describe a complicated process that you know well and explain it in to an amateur.
If you are looking for a job, do not bother applying. They've had the job opening open for over a year and are still looking for a hypothetical perfect candidate. In retrospect, it was a distraction from focusing on real jobs.
If you are looking for a side gig to make some money (Okish hourly rate), apply.
