We are seeking Canada-based contractors to join our Interview Engineer community with consistent, dedicated availability of 40 hours per week through October 2026
This is a fixed-term engagement with a structured weekly availability commitment through end of October. You will hold a consistent block of hours each week during which you are available to conduct interviews, including short-notice requests. Availability outside of standard business hours and on weekends is welcome.
This is a strong fit if you are between full-time positions, on a planned leave from your current role, or looking for consistent, meaningful contract work over a defined period.
- Commit to a consistent weekly availability block of 40 hours to accept and conduct interview assignments, including short-notice requests; evenings and weekends are welcome.
- Conduct structured 60-minute technical interviews through Karat's platform across domains such as back-end, full-stack, front-end, and system design.
- Submit thorough written evaluations of each candidate's coding approach, technical knowledge, and communication skills.
- Maintain Karat's standards for structured, inclusive, bias-mitigated interviewing throughout your engagement.
This contract will be a good fit if you have:
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Experience conducting technical interviews, either through a formal employer program or independently
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills; clear, efficient evaluation write-ups matter here
- A reliable home setup: stable internet connection, working webcam, and microphone
- Genuine availability to hold a consistent weekly block for the full three-month term; this is not a pick-up-when-you-want arrangement
Engagement details:
- Duration: Through October 2026
- Weekly commitment: 40 hours
- Availability windows: Flexible, including evenings and weekends
- Compensation: Hourly rate
- Location: Remote; must be currently located in Canada
- Classification: Independent Contractor
Upon contract conclusion, contractors may opt into Karat's standard Interview Engineer program, which operates on a per-interview compensation model.

Karat
View Company ProfileKarat is a highly disruptive, billion-dollar unicorn that has fundamentally revolutionized the technical hiring process by pioneering the world's first "Interviewing Cloud." Founded in 2014 by Mohit Bhende and Jeffrey Spector, and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the company solves the massive global shortage of software engineers by completely outsourcing technical interviews. Under the hood, Karat leverages a massive global network of vetted "Interview Engineers" supported by purpose-built interviewing infrastructure and AI-driven market intelligence to conduct highly predictive, fair, and 24/7 technical assessments. Their primary target audience spans hyper-growth tech startups and massive global enterprises (like Atlassian, Citi, and Mastercard) that desperately need to reclaim thousands of hours of internal engineering bandwidth while eliminating pedigree bias. What sets Karat apart in the incredibly competitive HR Tech landscape is its massive scale—having conducted over 500,000 interviews—and its profound commitment to equity, highlighted by their strategic acquisitions (like Triplebyte and Byteboard) and the "Brilliant Black Minds" program, effectively transforming how the tech industry identifies and hires elite engineering talent at scale.
