View Open Roles

Initial Review

We'll review your CV or LinkedIn profile and any examples of your work that you might have shared with us - Github; personal blog; papers that you've contributed to.

We use Workable to manage 'all things people'.

Swap Stories

Our interview process begins with a phone or video call with a member of the 'People' team. This is an opportunity for us tell you more about the role and its context within the greater team and to give you some background on Clearmatics.

We'll cover some of the usual 'admin' questions to make sure that there is a mutual fit.

Face-to-face Interview

You like what you see and you're interested in joining the team? What next?

Technical Roles

3a. We'll invite you for a technical interview with 2 members of the engineering team, usually by video call. As we are a cross-functional team, we mix the interview process up so that you have the opportunity to speak with people from the wider engineering team. We'll want to understand your technical ability and gauge your interest in blockchain. This interview will reference skills/ experience from your CV (previous roles and/or academic studies) as well as some general discussion about your interest and experience in the blockchain space (Ethereum especially). Remember we are aiming to build a world-class team so passion is key!

3b. Some roles require a technical deep-dive interview where we will set you a mini challenge to do in your own time. The usual format is that we email a set of questions over to you prior to a technical deep-dive call with the hiring manager.

Non-technical Roles

3a. For non-engineering roles, we'll invite you for a first face-to-face interview (video call if you're not local), with the hiring manager and another member of the Clearmatics team. As we are a cross-functional team, we mix the interview process up so that you have the opportunity to speak with people from different functions within the team. This interview will be made up of questions around your previous experience and your understanding of the requirements of the role. We'll want to see that you 'get it' and have either delivered something similar before, or if you haven't, have the ability to understand the requirements and talk us through interesting approaches. Some of the questions are designed to see how aligned you are to our values.

3b. We may also ask you to pre-prepare a brief or consider some scenario-based questions. This is to see how you would approach some of the challenges that we face here and assess your problem-solving ability.

Onsite Interview

Nearly there! Finally, you will be invited to an onsite interview (or a Skype interview if you are remote), where you will meet several key team members, including the hiring manager and a member of the senior management team and/or our CEO.

We have implemented a thoroughly researched privacy solution involving Stealth Addresses and Ring Signatures and are currently working on how to interoperate Ethereum based chains without an intermediary. Other areas of current research include zkSNARKs, multiparty computation, private transactions/assets, protocol design (e.g. proof relays/pegs), formally verified smart contracts, and type-safe and performant distributed virtual machine architectures.
