Jobs at Flodesk

What Flodesk's application asks

Across the one application form Otto has filled at Flodesk: 13 distinct questions, 11 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 21 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Greenhouse.

6 are Flodesk’s own, not boxes every form has:

• describe a time you had to build a feature or complete a task where the requirements were vague or provided…
• share a time when you pushed back on a technical or product decision. what was the specific concern, and what…
• social media username (github, twitter, personal site, etc)
• tell us about the most difficult technical feature you have built or shipped. what made it complex, and why…
• what's something you taught yourself recently—and why?
• future opportunities: to help us consider you for other roles if this application is unsuccessful, we would…

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-05, 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 Greenhouse puts on every employer’s form.
