A small homework: Imagine that you don’t want to or just don’t have enough time to go through entire Twitter timeline every day and you are only interested in URLs to the various resources that are submitted by the people you follow (e.g., to blog posts). Implement a script that solves that problem and returns all tweets containing URLs. You should be able to specify either since when you want to fetch tweets or between what timestamps. Make it executable and runnable from console returning a nicely formatted result. The output should include the URLs themselves, date and some info indicating what it is about (especially for shortened URLs). Treat it as a real-world feature and send us a link to the repo.

Technical interview with remote pair-programming session: the interview part shouldn’t take too much time – we are mostly interested in ability to solve the actual problems and being able to figure out the best possible solution for that problem, not in knowing things can be easily googled and learned through experience, that’s why the interview part will be focused mostly on open-ended questions about some non-trivial matters. The pair-programming session will take a bit longer, and it will involve some nice challenge in a Rails universe. 

An interview with our CEO and/or COO that will be focused more on soft things, nothing technical this time.

An opportunity to have the conversation with the entire team you are going to work with. It is an excellent way for both sides to make sure we will be a perfect mutual match.
