I applied through another source. The process took 2 weeks.

The recruitment process took about two weeks. It started with a recruiter who reached out to me on LinkedIn. We had an initial meeting to discuss my background, journey, and expectations. After that, I received a take-home assignment, which can take anywhere from 6 to 14 hours depending on how polished you want to make it. I personally lost quite a bit of time deploying it on the free tier of Render.com. Once the assignment was ready, I presented my solution to two senior engineers, covering both technical and product aspects. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and asked insightful, challenging questions in a respectful and non-confrontational way. The final stage was a culture-fit interview with a senior engineering manager. It turned into a very engaging conversation about Pennylane and how my experience could fit into their mission and growth. Throughout the process, the recruiter provided feedback after each step with clear debriefs, which made the experience feel transparent and supportive. Overall, Pennylane has one of the fastest, most transparent, and candidate-friendly processes I've seen. Honestly, it was the best recruitment experience I've had in my career.

Can you tell us about you? Tell me about a time when you took on something significant outside your area of responsibility. Why was it important? What was the outcome? Can you share the latest feedback you receive from your manager or a peer? What was your reaction? What did you put in place after that?
