- Technical Interview - a sixty-minute interview where we verify your technical teaching capability, writing skills, and technical knowledge
- We use a writing assignment to validate your teaching and writing capabilities

Our take
Since its release in 2014, Kubernetes has seen widespread adoption as a cloud-native data center for software companies and those using clusters of tools. Spectro Cloud helps companies and organisations using Kubernetes to deploy and manage the software across all stages of a product’s life cycle.
Founded by former employees of legacy software company Cisco, Spectro Cloud was created in 2019 to offer decentralised architecture, frictionless onboarding, management, and security for application building. Its Kubernetes management platform, Palette, works end-to-end to support the product lifecycle, allowing users to build for "what they need now and in the future."
With impressive funding behind it, Spectro Cloud is planning new management hires and expanding its software’s uses across new technologies. This includes exploring artificial intelligence and a variety of possible applications in industries such as automotive, healthcare and energy.
