This is an alternative way for candidates to [[showcase relevant expertise]] in the context of our [[join us#The Process|recruitment process]]. Compared to [[solve an assignment|completing our assignment]] or [[share a project|presenting a project]], this option might be more challenging in terms of providing sufficient inputs for us to evaluate your expertise upon. Please make sure you've read carefully through [[showcase relevant expertise#2. During the session|the process]], and have a clear vision of how you plan to demonstrate the relevant expertise to the team. Don't hesitate to contact us in case of any questions. --- ## What can one share? Some examples: - pitch yourself as an expert in a particular domain, or as an educator. - share your experience with a particular technology. - provoke a meaningful discussion around an interesting problem We won’t restrict you in topic selection, but would like to suggest one of the following motives: - Tell a story about building a complex or interesting project under unusual conditions or requirements. You may share the philosophy behind this piece of technology, dig into the overlooked specifics of its implementation, tell about an interesting use case, etc. - Give a lecture on a fundamental concept in computer science or engineering. This could be an algorithm, a design approach, or a fundamental technology (compiler or networking specifics). - Share a technology which is not widely used, but you think it should be. Describe your experience with this technology and explain how it could be applied to a wider set of problems. As you can probably tell, we prefer lectures on subjects you are already familiar with. We strongly suggest not to invent a topic (because it is popular or look very serious) but rather reflect upon your own experience and try to articulate something important for you personally. The time limit for the whole session is 1 hour, of which 15 minutes are required for Q&A. We suggest you reserve 30 minutes for that though – who knows where the discussion might take us. --- ## Submission Requirements To help us prepare for the evaluation session, we kindly ask you to store all the presentation materials (such as lecture notes, code snippets, and open problems) in a Git repository. No need for something comprehensive — just share whatever you plan to share with us, and provide a root `README.md` with the description of your talk and references to all the used materials. The intro to your `README.md` should include: - The title of your presentation. - A brief intro to the problem and the tool / solution / concept you are going to present. - Outline of the expected learnings from this presentation. - Any other relevant notes to help the audience make the most of this presentation Once ready, email the materials to [email protected] and we will schedule a session with the team.
