Jobs at Bitcap

What Bitcap's application asks

Across the 3 application forms Otto has filled at Bitcap: 14 distinct questions, 9 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 21 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Personio.

4 are Bitcap’s own, not boxes every form has:

• tell us about your personal relationship with finance and investing. do you have an investment philosophy of…
• tell us about the hardest software engineering challenge you solved yourself over the past year. where did…
• how did you use ai in your work over the past week? give us one concrete example, incl. the tools/models you…
• tell us about an ai application/tool you built in your private life. what exactly was it, which use case was…

Read off the forms themselves, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Personio puts on every employer’s form.
