Working at Recilens
No roles are open at the moment. We hire in small bursts, and most positions are filled from the interest list before they are posted anywhere.
Nothing open right now
Rather than leave a page of expired listings up, we would rather say that plainly. Join the list below and you will hear before a role is advertised, which in practice is a couple of weeks of head start.
How hiring runs here
Four steps, no unpaid take-home exercise that eats your weekend. The whole process is usually two to three weeks.
- 1
A short written exchange about what you have built and what you want to do next
- 2
A 45-minute conversation with the engineer you would work alongside
- 3
A paid half-day working on something real from our actual backlog
- 4
A conversation about terms, with the decision made within three working days
What the work is actually like
Small teams, client-facing from early on, and you will be on the call rather than hearing about it. That suits people who like owning a problem end to end and suits people who want to be handed tickets a lot less.
- You talk to the client directly, with support, not through a manager
- Code review on everything, in both directions, from your first week
- Two-week cycles, so your work is in front of a real user quickly
- Time set aside for the unglamorous work: tests, documentation, upgrades
What we look for
Engineers who write clearly and will argue a technical case. Writing matters more here than in most engineering jobs, because a lot of the work is explaining a trade-off to someone non-technical in a different timezone.
Internships
We run internships in cohorts rather than continuously, with a structured programme and real project work rather than shadowing. Cohort dates go to the interest list first.
Questions we get asked
There is a paid half-day working on something from our real backlog, with one of our engineers available. We do not set unpaid take-home exercises. Asking for a weekend of unpaid work to evaluate a candidate is a poor trade for them and tells us less than half a day of actual collaboration does.
Yes, and it is the better way to do it. Most roles here go to someone already on the list, because by the time a role is defined we usually know who we want to talk to. Tell us what you build and what you want to do next.
Partly. The team is based in Tamil Nadu and we work together in person regularly, because small teams building complex things benefit from it. Remote arrangements exist for specific roles and are discussed individually rather than promised on a careers page.
