How to actually get hired at Redpanda
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Redpanda runs an applicant tracking system (Ashby), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Redpanda isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Redpanda
We haven't verified a contact route at Redpanda yet. The decision usually sits with the hiring manager for the team that's hiring, but that's a model, not something we've confirmed. Members get verified contacts first.

Mistakes that kill Redpanda applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Redpanda can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Lead with their problem, not your ambition. Redpanda is focused on is growing — show you understand that.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
