Why Operativa?

At Operativa delivery is your currency, as long as you deliver business impact regularly your role will be as flexible as you want it to be. Should you ever struggle with this goal you'll have the entire Operativa team at your back working with you to help you grow and deliver impact.

Usually you'd find a checklist of things like "We are remote", "Free coffee" and the like in this section of a job spec.
If there's a perk or process that's going to make you a more effective engineer then you can rest assured we'll provide it as far as we viably can as a business and were we can't as a business we'll likely adjust your compensation so you can provide it to yourself.

And yes, we are remote-first (we have a small office in CPT should you ever need to get away for a bit or need a meeting room).

Our Hiring Process

Generally you're going to be working in 4 stages with us

• Phone screen (30 - 60 mins)
  A 30 - 60 minute phone/video call to gauge if there's any alignment/synergy between us.
  We'll also be setting expectations for the rest of the interview process and get a good idea of what you're going to
  need to be successful.

• Technical (60 - 180 mins)
  Based off of our phone screen we'll tailor a technical session of 60 - 180 mins to work towards your strengths.
  The format we prefer is that you present a piece of code/software you built in the past and we talk through it's design
  and try to make a change together. Unless you very explicitly specify a computer science background we won't be
  doing any DS/Algo quizzes here.

• Meet the team (30 - 240 mins)
  You'll get the opportunity to meet some of your future colleagues and see what it's like to actually work on the
  project you're likely to start with us on. This also gives our team the opportunity to get a better feel for what day to
  day will look like with you.

• Final negotiations (30+ mins)
  We'll present you with an offer and our Executive team will be available to negotiate the nitty gritty with you and hash
  out your ideal working agreement.
