    • Step 2: The technical assessment (a one-hour coding challenge) is intended to give you a taste of what you’ll be doing at Nova Credit. We avoid asking algorithmic questions, so you can expect to be asked to complete more practical tasks, such as working with an existing API, parsing JSON responses, or building a UI component.
    • Step 3: The final round will give you the opportunity to meet additional engineers, have a conversation with your potential manager and expose you to the Nova Credit culture. It is broken down into three one-hour technical sessions (coding challenges/systems design sessions), a forty-five-minute chat with the hiring manager, and a debrief with our Head of Engineering.
