I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kamana (Bellingham, WA) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was totally transparent, well-directed, professional, and punctual. It was one of the best technical interviews I've ever done as many of the questions were focused around controversial ideas or opinions regarding languages, tools, and frameworks.
This kind of interview is quite clever in that they're questions only a qualified candidate will be able to answer with any degree of competency, and thus eliminates the need for a paired programming or take-home programming exercise to gauge qualification.

The interview process was exceptionally refreshing for a senior technical position. There were three rounds total, each round involved an hour long conversation with individuals performing different roles at Kamana. The first was with the talent and product teams. The second was with the engineering team. The third and final round was with leadership (engineering and business).
Overall the process felt very respectful of my time and work history. There were no puzzles, white boarding or other pointless exercises which I really appreciate.
