You’re Smart. But Can You Pass Our Gut Check?
How to get hired by Spheric? We’ll spill the beans right up front. We figure you’re exceptional at what you do, but developers abound across the land. We’ll be looking for someone who is just the right fit. Sure, we have a formal set of criteria for potential employees—just the sorts of things you imagine we’d want:
- You are not only good at what you do; there’s evidence that you love what you do.
- Development, though it has its grungy moments, is almost like play for you.
- You have a passion for digging in and making things work better.
- You love to collaborate and you share our values.
- You can initiate projects (in fact, we can hardly hold you back).
- You love to learn and have excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- You enjoy life, laugh easily, and find much in the world endlessly interesting.
- You’re a tech junkie and avid blog reader/blogger.
- You can dish it out—but you can take it, too.
But the Final Question Is: Will You Pass Our “Gut Check”?
That’s that intuitive hit we get that you are just right for our team. Our team is an organism in a sense, with a unique personality. We see similarities in our team members, as well as key differences, and we look at how you’ll fit into that puzzle. It’s more than that, though, it’s just a sense that you’ll feel at home with the way we do things, that you’re ready to be influenced by us, and that you’re the right person to make us better, too.
