Application process
Canonical is currently rolling out a standardized hiring process across the company.
All applications need an up to date CV as well as a short personalized cover letter.
The rough process currently looks like (subject to change depending on positions):
- Review of new applications (by our hiring team)
- Generic written test (questionnaire)
- Short initial interview (meet & greet)
- Psychometric test (through an external provider)
- Second short interview with another manager
- Job-specific written test (questionnaire or coding)
- Couple of technical interviews
- Final interview
The written tests are sent out by e-mail with plenty of time to complete them.
We also usually do not perform any live coding tests, instead mostly being interested in discussing your past experience with various topics and technologies, thoughts on the work we’d like you to do, …
