Job application procedure
These positions are open to fresh graduates with limited experience. For that reason, the evaluation process will be rigorous.
As soon as you get past the resume shortlisting, we’ll send you a “handbook” that outlines our desired core competencies. When you are ready (within two weeks of being shortlisted), you’ll go through an online skill assessment. This will involve working through a short task (less than two hours) with a facilitator.
Traditional reference checks etc will occur after this stage. Candidates who get past this will go into an induction program - focused on teaching them our domain and the nitty-gritty of our technical stack.
Please send a single page resume to ops@ibuqacapital.com  and indicate the title of the position that you are applying for in the subject . Your resume should include links to any publicly available examples of your work e.g your code repository.
