Our interview process is designed for you to meet with a variety of Lightspeeders who could be a part of your future team—from hiring managers and peers to stakeholders and executives. If your application meets our requirements, you’ll typically start the interview process with an initial conversation with a Talent Partner to align on expectations. The rest of the interview process is structured to holistically assess how you and your experience align with the needs of the role and give you the opportunity to learn more about the position, the team and Lightspeed. Depending on the role, you may be required to complete an assessment or technical assignment, roleplay, present a case study or prepare a demo. At every step of the process, you'll be given ample time to prepare. As all of our interviews will be conducted remotely, please ensure you're in a quiet place with headphones and a reliable internet connection.

Interview stages vary depending on the role, but during each interview, we want to learn more about you and how you think your skills and experience will bring value to the team. Before your interview, please review the job description and come prepared with examples in mind that demonstrate your strengths as they relate to the needs of the position for which you're being interviewed. We'll also share our mission and guiding principles with you prior to your interview to give you a better sense of what we value and look for in Lightspeeders! But interviews are a two-way street. We want you to get to know us better—so please feel free to bring questions of your own.

Our interviews at Lightspeed are conducted in English for our global roles. If you are situated in Quebec, and the role you’re interviewing for requires you to communicate in English, one or more interviews may take place in the English language; if that’s the case, you’ll be informed by both your Talent Partner and in your interview confirmation email. When in doubt, please reach out to your Talent Partner or Talent Guide.

We’re committed to building a more inclusive, flexible workplace that meets the diverse needs of every Lightspeeder. Lightspeed PX (People Experience) gives each team member the flexibility to work hybridly between home and the office, determined in collaboration with your manager and in line with your function.

We want to reflect the diverse communities we serve at all levels and attract the best candidates. Our inclusion and diversity programs and policies help us ensure a candidate pool that brings different perspectives, experiences and skills, making us a better team.
