How we Hire
Our core philosophy:
- Stay as small a team as possible
- The recruiting process should generate meaningful signal for both sides, expose candidates to real work and a large share of the team
- If in doubt we rather miss a great candidate before bringing on the wrong one
- If a candidate is not “hell yes, I want to work at Langfuse” they should not join; there should be clear excitement from both sides throughout the process
Hiring process
Most of the time we are hiring for engineering roles – below you will find the process for these roles. The process might differ slightly for other roles.
1st Call
This is a very short call to chat about your application and answer any questions you might have. The goal is to figure out whether working together could be an excellent fit for both sides.
15-30min scheduled
CV Deep Dive
In this Call typically you will meet a Founder to get to know you and your background. They will try to understand [1] your motivation to join Langfuse, [2] your past roles and [3] what you are looking for in a new role. Be ready to talk in detail about your past projects and experiences.
30-45min scheduled
Technical Interview
This step is only relevant for engineering roles. Other roles often go directly to the Super Day.
You will meet an engineer from our team for this interview and you will [1] discuss past projects, [2] solve typical algorithm problems, [3] design a backend or frontend system (in figjam or tool of your choice) depending on the role.
75min scheduled but often concludes after 45min
Super Day
What the trace is a Super Day? We get that a lot. The Super Day is an onsite day in our office where we work together with you on real problems that you might work on in your future role at Langfuse. You will receive a brief ahead of time.
1 full day
Meet the Founders
Up to this point you will have met one or two of the founders. We will make sure you have the chance to meet the other founders over short calls or during the Super Day.
30-45min per founder not met
