Interview Engineer (Java / Full-Stack) - Freelance full-time

Ukraine

We’re looking for an Interview Engineer to help shape fair, high-signal technical hiring for software engineers worldwide.

EU, Remote, Ukraine

Join a global network of engineers and make an impact beyond writing code.
If you’re an experienced software engineer who enjoys evaluating technical talent and cares about fair hiring, this role offers a genuinely different way to apply your expertise — well-compensated, and with up to 100 interviews per month, you’ll directly influence the hiring outcomes of hundreds of engineers worldwide.
This is also an opportunity to challenge yourself in a new dimension — sharpening your communication, evaluation, and technical breadth while gaining exposure to a wide range of engineering backgrounds, problem-solving approaches, and technologies that pure coding roles rarely offer.
This role starts as a full-time engagement for the first 3 months, with the possibility to transition to a part-time format afterwards — making it a great fit for engineers looking for flexibility down the line.
Our client runs a leading technical interviewing platform used by companies ranging from fast-growing startups to large enterprises. Their model pairs experienced engineers with standardized interview frameworks to help organizations hire more accurately and fairly — at scale, across the globe. As an Interview Engineer, you’ll play a key role in that mission, helping companies identify exceptional talent while creating meaningful career opportunities for developers around the world.

What you’ll do in this role

Interview — Facilitate live technical interviews through the platform with software engineering candidates worldwide. Build a professional, inclusive experience while assessing fundamental coding skills, problem-solving ability, and technical knowledge.
Evaluate — Deliver structured, objective feedback on each candidate’s coding style, technical approach, communication, and knowledge-question responses — using established criteria that mitigate bias and improve hiring signal.
Partner — Collaborate with the client’s internal teams to test and refine interview content, processes, and platform features, contributing your frontline perspective to continuous improvement.

We’re looking for

3+ years of professional experience as a Software Developer or Engineer, with strong Java proficiency and at least a working understanding of frontend technologies (e.g. JavaScript, React, or similar).
Solid grasp of algorithms, data structures, and software engineering fundamentals.
Excellent English communication skills — written and spoken — with the professionalism to put candidates from any background at ease.
Ability to deliver objective, structured assessments under a consistent evaluation framework.
Reliable webcam, microphone, and stable internet connection.

How to knock our socks off

Previous experience conducting technical interviews (data structures, algorithms, system design)
Experience mentoring, coaching, or guiding other engineers technically.
Interest in talent assessment, interviewing methodologies, or inclusive hiring practices.
Naming five or more dishes that include beetroot besides borshch.
