At Diagram, we think the easiest way to see how you work is… to have you actually work on something! You won’t find whiteboard interviews, pseudocode, or theoretical exercises in our interview.

Our goal isn’t for you to build something we’ll directly use, but to touch on problems and technologies that you would be interacting with day-to-day. We’ll pay you a fair rate for your time. Depending on your role, this will look slightly different (ie design, eng, data, etc)

If we don’t end up hiring you, we’d love to let you share your work anyway. Hopefully, it helps you find the right fit elsewhere!

• Should be around 8h of paid time
  • Feel free to work on it whenever suits you within one week
  • Coordinate with Jordan for payment
  • If you need to borrow any hardware or software, just ask
  • ⚠️ Let us know if you spent any more than 8h on it
• We’ll expect you to explain what you did, how, & why
  • There will be a shared slack channel #yourname-diagram where you can post updates, ask questions, and just be your work self
  • Recording a short screen-share is a nice way to help us review
• Rules
  • Should be done individually (no phone-a-friend, but ok to ask us for help)
  • Open-book project
  • Ok to use the internet, external resources, and AI models just like at work
• Examples

  • Andrew built a figma plugin that takes a frame in the Figma canvas and generated a high-level summary of the purpose of that screen

    

  • Marco designed a possible interface for an intelligent design assistant and recorded a video about it

  • Vincent built a terminal for Figma

Happy building!
