Hume AI application questions — all 7, word for word
Hume AI hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 7 questions, 3 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work.
5 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and data. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What Hume AI has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as Hume AI titles them, in NYC, San Jose, or Remote, New York, New York, United States:
- AI Researcher
- Open Role
- Senior Platform Engineer
- Senior Software Engineer - Backend & Machine Learning
- Senior/Staff AI Research Engineer
5 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Are you legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship?”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Hume AI does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Hume AI's asks for 3 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
