Accelerate Your Career!

Explore the Product Apex application here.

Before you proceed to the application, please prepare your 3-5 minute "Apex Pitch" video. See examples from current Carvana employees here.

Your video should be a short walkthrough of what led you to apply and how you went about solving a specific problem using technology. We don't expect high production value, we just want the real you.

Please address these three areas:

1. The "Why": Why Carvana, and why join us at this specific moment?
2. The Track: Why is Software Engineering the right fit for your skills?
3. The Build: Walk us through an AI-driven application or solution you've personally built. It can be any project-personal, for school, an internship, etc.
• Show us what you built and explain the thought-process behind specific decisions you made along the way.
• Detail exactly how AI played a role in building it-planning, writing code, etc.
• Use a screen-recording tool and walk us through your prompt creation, documentation, code, or other specific artifacts while you discuss.
• We are interested in your creative process and problem-solving steps rather than a product demonstration.

How to Record & Share

You can use any tool you like, but our favorites for tech demos allow us to see your face and your screen while you share:

• Loom (Recommended): Great for "picture-in-picture" recordings of you and your screen.
• Camtasia or Clipchamp: Best if you want to edit multiple takes together.
• Zoom: Use "shared screen with speaker view."

Ensure your video is uploaded to a cloud service such as YouTube or Google Drive and set to "Public," Unlisted," or "Anyone with the link can view." Test your link in an Incognito or Private browser window before submitting to make sure we can see it.
