FAQ

  • Once we receive your application, our Talent Acquisition team will review it to assess your skills, experience, and fit for the role. If your profile matches our requirements, we will contact you to discuss next steps, which may include an initial screening call or interview. If your application is not selected to move forward, we will notify you by email.

  • Our interview process typically includes an initial conversation with our TA team, followed by one or more interviews with the hiring manager and relevant team members. Depending on the role, you may also be asked to complete a coding test or case study. We aim to keep the process transparent, respectful of your time, and focused on helping both you and Backlight determine if we are the right fit for each other.
