Whether you’re a developer, designer, writer, strategist, or growth hacker, this is your backstage pass to what joining the Nest is really like.
Watch: 5 Minutes is all You Need to Hire
The Application, More Than Just a Resume
Our hiring journey starts with intention. At Seahawk, we’re not looking for just qualifications, we’re looking for spark, passion, and cultural fit.
What We Look For:
- Authenticity: We want to know who you really are, not just what’s on your CV.
- Craftsmanship: Whether you write code or content, we want people who take pride in their work.
- Curiosity: Are you always learning, exploring, growing? You’ll fit right in.
- Values: We’re built on trust, transparency, and teamwork. That means no egos, no silos, no red tape.
A standout application goes beyond a list of roles, it tells a story. If you’ve got side projects, GitHub repositories, portfolio websites, Medium blogs, or passion pieces, don’t leave them out. We’re more interested in what drives you than what boxes you tick.
First Contact, Human Conversations, Not Interrogations
Once your application passes the first filter, you’ll get a message from our People Ops team. Our first conversation is relaxed, curious, and two-sided. We’ll talk about:
- What excites you about working at Seahawk
- Your past experience and future goals
- How you work, remote culture, collaboration, and communication
- What you’re looking for in a team, a manager, and a mission
We don’t believe in overly scripted interviews. Instead, we keep it conversational, insightful, and aligned with our culture of openness. We want to see the real you and ensure we’re a good match on both sides.

- Excited about remote collaboration

You’ll likely speak to one of our team leads or founders, and this conversation is all about values, vibes, and vision. If both sides feel the synergy, we’ll be ready to make things official.
