The whole application process took about three months. I went through roughly three rounds of interviews, both phone and in-person. The in-person part was pretty intense, lasting four days in Kigali, Rwanda. I was given a take-home challenge to complete within three days, and then I had to present it on the fourth day. It was an interesting experience, including a pair programming session with some software engineers from one acre fund. The final decision was made after I returned to my home country.
