About the process

Most candidates go from first call to offer in under three weeks. We deliberately keep it tight — long loops are bad for everyone.
Rarely. We prefer working sessions with the team. If we ever ask for take-home work, it'll be timeboxed to 2 hours and we'll pay for your time.
Yes — after 6 months for the same team, sooner for a different team. We close the loop with feedback every time.
Yes for London and Dubai roles; we handle visa sponsorship + relocation for the right candidates. Gurgaon is local hires only.

Working at Hike

We're hybrid-by-default — 3 days a week in the office. Some roles are fully remote and are tagged as such on the listing.
Flexible. We track output, not hours. Most teams have a 2-hour daily overlap window so collaboration doesn't slow down.
Mid-sized (~75 people), heavy on engineering and AI, with offices in Gurgaon (HQ), London, and Dubai.
Hike is a messaging super-app — chat, rewards, casual games, and Natasha, our AI sidekick. All in one app, used daily by millions.
