SingleStore application questions — all 38, word for word
SingleStore hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 38 questions, 30 of them required. 8 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
80 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and sales. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What SingleStore has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as SingleStore titles them, in United States, India, Portugal, International:

29 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Have you personally owned configuration changes in Salesforce such as Flow, approval processes, assignment rules, custom objects, record types, and page layouts? Expand.”.
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 SingleStore 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 — SingleStore's asks for 30 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.
