Applying for an X-Team Job

Do you offer opportunities in [programming language]?

We might do! Visit https://jobs.x-team.com and create an X-Team profile to have a real-time, accurate view of the job roles we have open.

Do you hire junior developers?

X-Team only hires developers who have at least a few years of experience, because our partners expect X-Team developers to hit the ground running on their often large projects with complex codebases.

Is it okay to apply more than once?

Once you've created an X-Team profile, you can apply for more than one job. However, you can only have one pending application at any given time.

How long from first contact until I start working?

This will largely depend on the timeline of our partner, but it can go really fast. If our partner urgently needs a new developer, you could start working one or two weeks after the first contact.

Is there a coding interview?

Our partners might ask for a live coding or whiteboard exercise while we vet candidates, but that's not our standard process. Our technical vetting consists of asking open-ended questions about the tech stacks that are specific to the role. For example, for a React.js role, we might ask you to compare function components with hooks versus class components.

What happens when I pass your vetting?

Once that happens, you'll be put on a shortlist of candidates, which consists of developers who've come from all our recruiting channels. You can think of it as a Top 5 or Top 10 of candidates for any given role.

Our Business Development Managers then draw from these shortlists when pitching candidates for our partners. If you're in the top spot, you've likely already been contacted (congratulations). If you're lower down the list, you'll be put forward for the job if the higher-ranked candidates aren't accepted.`

What happens when X-Team says yes?

A member of our Core Team will introduce you to the other X-Teamers and walk you through the many different aspects of our community. In addition, each partner will have their own onboarding process that they'll walk you through when you start.
