What Happens After You Apply

After submitting your application, you’ll receive an email invitation from Spark Hire to record a short 3–5 minute Intro Video. This is the first step in our hiring process and can be completed whenever it’s convenient for you.

Instead of multiple screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your data engineering experience, and highlight your background in data pipelines, cloud platforms, SQL, Python, and data warehousing. Your video will be reviewed before moving forward in the interview process.

You can record your video as many times as you’d like before submitting it—only your final version will be reviewed.

Please keep an eye on both your inbox and spam folder for your Spark Hire invitation after applying.
