How we work

How we work

We are parents, pet-lovers, physicists, cyclists, teachers, Haskellers, and musicians that get together five days a week to solve complex problems.

We are building LeapYear for the long-term, and we understand that this requires a great working environment, diverse perspectives, and a culture built on shared values.

Recent technical challenges we've been working on

  • Developing a Spark-based query engine with strong typechecking.
  • Achieving terabyte and petabyte scale on Spark.
  • Refactoring our persistence layer.
  • Using Haskell to implement enterprise-ready subsystems for authentication, permissioning, job management, and logging.
  • Extending the platform to support automated daily data updates.

Our values as interviewers:

  • We make evidence-based hiring decisions (Interviews are standardized, cognitive biases are avoided)
  • We prefer face-to-face time with you (Zoom calls over phone calls)
  • We minimize the difference between interviews and real work (Code reviews and design exercises, not whiteboard coding)
  • You deserve to know what to expect at every stage

Typical interview process:

  1. Technical screen +
  2. call with hiring manager
  3. On-site interview
  4. References
  5. Offer
