Hiring at Zed: Building in Real Time

Zed describes how it hires and onboards engineers, having added more than 20 in the past year, many found through open-source contributions and conference conversations rather than applications alone. New hires start on real work immediately, demo their first pull request at Demo Fridays and pair extensively with colleagues. Zed says those who thrive work at any layer of the stack, like thinking out loud with others and hold a high bar for craft in a codebase nearing a million lines of Rust.
