I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr (Bozeman, MT) in Sept 2015
Interview
The interview started with an initial phone screening, which described some of the engineering focus at Dataminr and my personal skills. This was followed by an on-site interview. In this on-site interview, the focus was initially describing Dataminr and showing the applications developed here. This moved to my background and experience that qualified myself for the job. A second interviewer (a QA engineer) reviewed my knowledge and had some basic algorithm questions.
