Welcome. This is the full interview process for our first Business Operations hire, front to back, so none of it is a surprise. Every stage is real work, not trivia: you should finish it knowing whether you'd love this job, and we should finish it knowing you'd be great at it. We move fast (first call to offer in about 3-4 weeks), and every stage runs both ways: you're sizing us up as much as we're sizing you up. We value agency, AI-native judgment, and nothing dropped.
| Stage | Format | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Founder screen with Michelle | Intro conversation | 15-20 min |
| 2. Take-home | Async build, on your own time | ~2 hrs |
| 3. Founder screen with Max | Walkthrough of your take-home with Max | 30 min |
| 4. Work trial | A paid day doing the actual job, in office | 1 day (paid) |
| 5. References | Conversations with people you've worked with | ~5 chats |
| 6. Offer | Decision | Fast |
Your story, what you've built, what you're looking for next, and why Flint might (or might not) be the place. We’ll also ask you to demo a Claude/AI app or workflow you’ve built.
A short build that mirrors the actual job: a customer-health view plus the outreach to act on it, using a synthetic dataset we hand you. Use Claude Code (or whatever you build with) — we want to see how you work with AI. There's a separate one-pager for this with everything you need. Hard 2-hour box; we care about prioritization, not polish.
Max, our co-founder and CTO, reviews your take-home with you. You'll walk him through what you built; he'll dig into your reasoning, pull on a few threads, and throw a curveball or two ("this account you called healthy just churned. What did you miss?"). We're looking for someone who owns their thinking and doesn't drop the thread under pressure.
The real thing. You embed with us on an actual project (think: build the growth model we don't have yet), with real tools and real data under an NDA. You'll see how we operate day-to-day, and we'll see how you do. This day is paid. It's also your best chance to decide whether this is the room you want to be in.
We talk with people you've worked with. We'll ask you to help line them up, and we'll move quickly.
If it's a fit on both sides, we move fast here too.
