Application and Interview Process
We are small but growing fast and we need the right people who can help us grow and retain and embed our culture and values. Our selection process is both rigorous and compassionate, but we highly encourage you to approach the journey as your authentic self. You are deciding about whether this role is for you as much as we are, so if we are a natural fit for you and you find yourself enjoying this process then you will likely thrive working at Boba. Below is an outline of what you can expect from the process, but this may change or evolve.
How To Apply
If you apply directly, please include your CV and a cover letter. Whilst your CV can cover what you have experienced, achieved, and accomplished, we really encourage you to take the opportunity to describe your personal 'why' and 'how' in your cover letter to tell us more about you as a person. e.g., Why you are interested in the role with us, and how you work with people or projects or problems, what do our purpose and values mean to you.
If you are applying through one of our recruitment partners, please share this information with them so they can brief us about you. We want to know who you are as a person and not just what you have done in the past. Applicants we think could be a good fit will be invited to Round 1 which will be done in two parts:
Round 1 – Part 1 of 2: Video Assessment
Our first stage allows us to see and hear how you communicate and allows you the opportunity to tell us a bit more about yourself than a CV or cover letter can do. Just relax and be yourself. We may throw a curveball question to you which is just to give us an idea of how you might approach a situation or scenario. We highly value cognitive diversity, so this has no right or wrong answers; please answer as your authentic self.
Round 1 - Part 2 of 2: Online Assessment
As this is an Engineering role, we will ask you to complete an online technical assessment exercise. This has been calibrated by our own teams taking this assessment to ensure it represents the strengths that a person will need to have to thrive in the role. It allows us to understand your strengths and most importantly removes a large part of the subjectivity that can enter the first stage of candidate selection and provides a consistent and level starting point for all applicants. It also significantly reduces the risk of unconscious bias at the application stage, so we can ensure each applicant has the same starting point and we can find the best talent.
The purpose of the online technical assessment is for us to learn how you solve technical coding problems in as close to a real life environment as possible.
Round 2: Getting to know each other
Approx. 2hrs with breaks. We would love to host you at our office and meet you in person, and we will pay any associated travel costs. Typical format will be:
- Meet with our Lead and Senior Trading Engineers (Amritha & Gary) who will assign you a technical assessment exercise for about 45mins followed by a break.
- After this, one of your potential future team members will take you for a coffee/tea/beverage for an informal chat with you for up to 15mins for you to ask any questions about the role, Boba or anything else!
- Meet with our Associate Chief of Staff (Catherine) for up to 60mins
We will typically be in touch within a week on next steps after this stage.
Round 3: Final Round
Approx. 2 hours with breaks. This will be in-person in our office again, and we will pay any associated travel costs. We tollgate this stage, meaning we will make a decision on the day to proceed with the next interviewer. The structure will likely be:
• Meet with our Chief of Staff/Chief People and Culture Officer (Iain) for up to 45mins inc. any questions you may have.
If Iain and you both wish to continue, then:
• Meet with our COO (Marc) for up to 30mins inc. any questions you may have.
If Marc and you both wish to continue, then:
• Meet with our CEO (Samir) for up to 30mins inc. any questions you may have.
If you have any questions about the process along the way, just ask us at
Good luck and we look forward to meeting you!
Benefits
What we can offer you
We are growing and adding to how we want to make Boba the best place to work on the planet and are always listening to what our team think we can do to achieve that. On top of a culture of personal growth, caring personally, inclusivity where your ideas are heard and often implemented, we can offer:
- £40,000 annual salary plus annual discretionary performance bonus
- Support from a professionally qualified Coach to help you achieve your personal and professional goals
- Work/life balance. We mainly trade in US markets, and as a result need to ensure we have Engineering available to support the Trading team. However, outside of having appropriate coverage in place, we work hard to stick to an average 8 hour day and you will have a large amount of autonomy over your work. We value output and engagement and we do not like presenteeism, we know that everyone has a life outside of work
- Comprehensive health care cover, including mental health, dental and optical cover, with zero excess for the employee (and tax is paid by us!) via Aviva
- Life Insurance and Income Protection via YuLife
- Physical health allowance where we provide an allowance to each employee to use towards a physical activity of their choice (e.g., gym membership, Brazilian ju-jitsu, personal trainer, running club; pretty much anything as long as it gets you moving!)
- 39 days holiday, to be taken whenever you want subject to ensuring we have operational and trading coverage. We do not mandate you work public holidays nor do we mandate you must take them off, instead we recognise that UK bank holidays do not always align to important dates for everyone so give our employees the choice
- Up to £1K a year to support one personal amazing growth goal. Our only guidelines are that it cannot be incongruent to our purpose or values, and it must push you out of your comfort zone
- Pension contribution
- A book a month for personal development
- A gift on your birthday.
- Support to pursue professional certifications/qualifications
- Boba Day – an optional annual away day for socialising and training together
- ‘Bobaversary’ recognition for reaching significant milestones in your career with us
Other examples of situational/ad-hoc schemes we have run for our employees:
- Surprise and delight – we sent our people gifts from us during mandatory WFH periods, just to show we are thinking about them
- Social events & celebratory gifts for achieving team goals
- Fridge full of snacks and drinks (healthy and less-healthy options are available!)
