We use AI tools in our work as appropriate. Our engineering interview will not require you to write any code. We will ask you to walk through code with us, and we will want to know whether you're able to operate as an engineer who can distinguish and clearly explain the difference between good code and substandard AI-generated code. Following this reasoning, we ask that you please do not use any AI tools during the interview itself.Eligibility:You must be eligible to work in the U.S. and may be required to pass a federal background check at the discretion of the client/project you are placed on. Truss employees and contractors must live and work within the contiguous U.S. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor work visas at this time.
