## Job description

Freelance Technical Interviewer

Location: Latin America (Only candidates based in LATAM will be considered) Type: Freelance, Remote, Flexible Hours

## About Empirical

Empirical empowers early and growth stage tech companies to create the right products in the right way by providing two pivotal services:

- Product & Technology Leadership: Our clients entrust critical decisions to our network of top-tier US-based CTOs and CPOs. We provide fractional, project, or advisory based support, combining highly experienced talent with a flexible approach.
- Product Development Teams: We provide our clients with high performing, senior product development talent through a scalable staff augmentation model and ongoing support. We focus on Latin America to find exceptional talent, with time zone and cultural compatibility.

We are proud to be a people first company, where we prioritize building meaningful, long lasting human connections with clients and team members alike, while embracing diversity and uniqueness. With this foundation and our focus on talent, we help create great products that people love.

## Our values

- Care about people first
- Strive to add value always
- Lead with integrity
- Have fun every step of the way

The Opportunity We’re looking for experienced engineers and technical leaders who are passionate about identifying and nurturing exceptional talent. As a Freelance Technical Interviewer, you’ll join a community of senior engineers shaping Empirical’s technical standards. You’ll assess candidates’ problem-solving depth, communication clarity, and overall engineering quality — helping us build high-impact teams for fast-moving, AI-driven startups. You’ll interview candidates for companies building modern, cloud-based products, where adaptability and technical excellence matter most. Rather than deep specialization in a single stack, we value engineers who can evaluate trade-offs, reason technically, and assess holistic engineering maturity. This is a flexible, freelance, remote role — ideal for senior professionals who enjoy mentoring, evaluating talent, and contributing to a people-first engineering culture.

## What You’ll Do

- Conduct structured technical and behavioral interviews for senior- and lead-level engineers (Full Stack, Backend, Frontend, or Data).
- Assess alignment with Empirical’s values and client expectations.
- Evaluate technical proficiency, problem-solving approach, and communication clarity.
- Use Empirical’s standardized guides, rubrics, and live coding challenges to ensure consistent, high-quality evaluations.
- Document insights and provide written feedback.
- Collaborate with the Talent Acquisition team to refine rubrics and maintain consistent standards.
- Report to Empirical’s Engineering Manager to align on technical scope, interview quality, and continuous improvements.

## What we’re looking for

- Senior or Lead Engineer with strong, hands-on product development experience.
- Passion for mentoring, evaluating, and supporting other engineers.
- Clear and empathetic communicator with a pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset.
- Fluent in English (written and verbal, as interviews and feedback will be in English fully).
- Flexibility/Availability to conduct 1–1.5-hour interviews on weekdays within LATAM or US Eastern working hours.
- Alignment with Empirical’s values: care, value, and integrity.
- Technical background:
- Common technologies you’ll encounter include JavaScript, TypeScript, Python (occasionally Go), React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Architecture topics often include REST/GraphQL APIs, microservices, event-driven systems, and system design.
- Nice to have:
- Experience interviewing, hiring, or mentoring engineers.
- Background in teaching, bootcamps, or technical mentorship.
- Experience working in early-stage or high-growth startups.

## What We Offer

- Fully remote, flexible work — schedule interviews around your availability.
- Competitive compensation in USD for each interview completed.
- The opportunity to collaborate with top-tier engineers across Latin America and the US.
- Be part of Empirical’s mission to shape AI-enabled, high-impact product teams.
- Join a multicultural community of builders who care deeply about quality, creativity, and collaboration.
