INTERVIEW PROCESS
We want to find out about you, and spend enough time together that you find out about us too. We're not looking for a Vegas fling where you wake up the second week on the job and feel like you've made a big mistake. We're not perfect, and we're willing to share with you where our ugly recliner lives, and you'll let us know if you leave the cap off the toothpaste.
We'll have an initial get to know you interview with the People team. Our objective is to get to know you from a "how do you think" perspective. We'll ask questions that relate to our values (we're not looking for cult members who can recite them; we're looking for folks who are passionate about the ways of working that we are ). You'll get the chance to ask questions about what it's like to work at Origin, the team, what we do, and really anything you want to know.
The second interview will be with our VP of Tech, and also a get to know you; this time focused on your IRL experience with the platforms, libraries, databases and programming. This is the "have you done the work before" interview. You'll have the opportunity to meet the leader of the team, ask alllllll of the technical questions you have (so you understand what the work will look like for the foreseeable future).
The third interview is the "coding together" interview. It's not a test. There's no homework (you don't need to do free work for us disguised as an interview). This is a "let's work together for an hour or two and see how we communicate, ask questions, dive into possibilities" moment. If the idea of this gives you stress or anxiety - please let us know. We can come up with alternative ways to make this happen for both of us. You're not going to program a robot to perform heart transplants on the fly for us... ever. We don't need to know how you react to life or death programming situations. This time together should be something we're both looking forward to.
Because after this, we'll want to commit (or not). And we'll want you to commit (or not).
You spend as much (or more) time at work as you do with your friends, family or partner; we want to do as much as we can to ensure that you're loving the job and the team.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
Origin is working to not only defy the status quo for our patients, we are working to do so for our team.
We believe in the power of being seen as humans, creating space for our whole selves to show up for work, and an environment where we can do the best work of our lives.
As we have grown over the past 2 years, we have focused our hiring efforts on creating a team that brings diverse points of view, experiences, cultures, backgrounds and ideas onboard. We are also passionate about ensuring that our leaders are a team comprised folx who are commonly underrepresented - both to serve as mentors for others to develop into leaders and to ensure that we are not in an echo-chamber of sameness.
We have a new opening on our tech team; and want to take this opportunity to bring on someone who provides a new point of view and background. Currently the team is made up of white men (there are 2 of them). As the third partner on the engineering team this year, we are looking for someone willing to step through the door with us to be one of the foundational members of the team and to help us build the diverse team we are committed to having.
