Howdy Interview Questions
& Process

It was long and arduous, starting in Dec 2024 when a recruiter approached me. After being screened, I went into a technical interview and then a live coding challenge. After that, I met with a manager to clarify Howdy's operations. Then I was put into a talent pool to be matched with partners. This first month was tedious but made sense. From Jan 2025 to Oct 2025, I took more technical interviews or screenings with different startup CEOs and CTOs, trying to find a match. I went through three partners who closed their postings, but I landed a contract with a fourth. Howdy was communicative and reassuring throughout, checking in and updating their understanding of my market standing. Despite being the longest process ever, it felt endearing and respectful, just had bad luck with partners backing out.

I was first contacted on LinkedIn and we set up an HR screening interview. It was pretty standard, with general questions about my experience and availability. The next step was a technical interview. They told me it would be a live coding session. I reached out to ask about the platform or language, and a different person, someone I hadn't spoken to before, replied saying it would be in Javascript. However, the technical interview actually started with theoretical Computer Science questions. It felt like a quiz, not a conversation, and there was no real-time feedback or chance to elaborate on answers.

The role involves leading the brand and content strategy for the LATAM market (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and potentially Brazil). You'll define and execute the content strategy for external channels, making sure it aligns with brand values, technical topics, and tone. This includes collaborating with the Dev Advocate, Marketing team, and external vendors (like video editors, photographers, and studio agencies) to create engaging content. You'll also be responsible for creating and adapting audiovisual materials for the website’s Resource Library and social media, and repurposing content across different formats and channels to boost its reach and impact. Additionally, you'll provide updates on current content projects and come up with new topic ideas and creative concepts.

I had a very positive experience throughout the interview process. From the first contact, the recruiting team was very friendly, clear, and respectful of timelines. Each stage was well organized, and they provided all the necessary information for me to feel prepared. The questions were relevant and focused on both my technical skills and personal values. I really appreciated the constant communication and timely feedback after each interview. I'm left with an excellent impression of the company's culture and professionalism.
