You will also get to ask us about the role and learn about working at GoodFin.

2. Technical interview

This technical interview will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your programming skills and AI expertise. We will evaluate your ability to think critically about, and incorporate your experience with, AI in a context directly relevant to what we are building.

3. Meet the team

The last round will be casual chats with the rest of the team, if you haven’t met them already. It may be in person, if you’re in the LA area.
