• You will have to solve a simple async test. There is no time limit (although we encourage you to not spend more than 2 hours). The aim is not to solve the problem but to see how you approach a problem and how you think about it - the reasoning is more important than the solution. The review of this is structured as a role-play where we are the customers and you the Tinybird data engineer.
