Frequently Asked Questions

At Hot Beans, we look for candidates with a combination of technical skills and soft skills. For technical qualifications, we value proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and experience with modern frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue. Knowledge of backend technologies is a plus. We also highly value problem-solving abilities, creativity, attention to detail, and teamwork. While formal education is beneficial, we place greater emphasis on demonstrated skills through projects, portfolios, and coding challenges. We welcome applicants at all experience levels, from junior developers to senior positions.

Making coffee at home is easy and rewarding! You'll need quality beans, a grinder, and a brewing method like a French press, pour-over, or drip machine. For the best results, use freshly ground beans and filtered water at 195-205°F. The ideal ratio is 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water, but adjust to your taste preference.

Decaf coffee isn't completely caffeine-free. On average, a cup of decaf coffee contains about 2-5 mg of caffeine, compared to regular coffee which has around 95 mg per 8 oz cup. The exact amount depends on the decaffeination process used and the coffee bean type. Our Hot Beans decaf varieties typically contain less than 3 mg of caffeine per serving.

Our application process typically involves four steps: First, submit your resume/CV, portfolio, and cover letter through our careers page. Second, selected candidates complete a brief coding assessment to demonstrate their technical skills. Third, successful applicants participate in 1-2 interviews—a technical interview with our development team and a cultural fit interview with HR. Finally, we provide prompt feedback and, for successful candidates, a competitive offer. The entire process usually takes 2-3 weeks, and we provide clear communication throughout to ensure a positive candidate experience.
