Obviant·Software Engineer·Hiring Manager Screen

May 2026
Screening round for a software engineer role at Obviant. Pretty standard opener but they wanted real specifics about why the company, not just a rehearsed pitch.
  • Walk us through your background, then explain what draws you to Obviant's culture and mission and connect it to something concrete from your past.

“I had a version of this answer ready but fumbled the transition between my background and the 'why Obviant' part.”

Obviant·Software Engineer·Executive / Final Round

May 2026
Pretty casual chat for a software engineer role at Obviant. The whole thing felt more like a coffee conversation with a CEO than a technical screen, lots of open-ended stuff about where you've been and where you're headed.
  • Walk me through your background and what you've been working on.
  • What do you know about our culture, and what draws you to it specifically?
  • Where do you see yourself going long-term, and how does this role fit into that?

“Kept it short and tried to connect my experience to things that seemed relevant to the company.”
