IMAGIN.studio (imagin.studio) is a vehicle image API and CDN platform. Jan_Wilmake completed a 30-minute intro call with Dorota Rokita on June 11, 2026 for a Senior Full Stack Engineer position.[1]
IMAGIN.studio provides a vehicle imagery API — serving car images (including 360-degree views), paint colour renders, and related visual assets via a CDN. The platform includes DDoS protection and documented API integration guides. Key technical documentation Jan reviewed includes getting-images guides, paint configuration, 360-degree example integrations, and terminology references.[1]
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| June 11, 2026 (11:37–11:39) | First viewed the "Product Engineer – Squads" Notion job spec (51s + 15s)[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (12:13, 12:26–12:29) | Read Senior Full Stack Engineer listing on LinkedIn (~4m total)[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (13:00–13:02) | Pre-call preparation: opened IMAGIN.studio LinkedIn listing; checked Dorota Rokita's LinkedIn profile[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (13:08–13:09) | Rapid product research: browsed IMAGIN.studio docs (Getting Images, DDoS Protection FAQ, Paints, Terminology)[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (~13:11–13:41) | Intro call completed via Google Meet with Dorota Rokita (~30 minutes)[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (13:44–13:57) | Post-call exploration: revisited LinkedIn listing and browsed API docs (360 example integration)[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (13:58–13:59) | Looked up Thom van Lieshout and Wouter van Noort on LinkedIn — likely IMAGIN.studio team members[1] |
| June 11, 2026 (19:58) | Revisited IMAGIN.studio LinkedIn listing (17s) alongside Hyre integrations[1] |
| June 12, 2026 (19:51–20:26) | Deep-read "Product Engineer – Squads" Notion spec for 35+ minutes — ongoing evaluation[2] |
As of June 12 end-of-day — one day after the call — no thank-you or follow-up email has been sent to Dorota Rokita. This mirrors the pattern seen with Blixt and Moyai, where post-call follow-ups were delayed or never sent. The continued viewing of the LinkedIn listing (June 11 evening, June 12) signals ongoing interest.[3]
An email titled "Vervolgstappen na ons gesprek — enthousiast!" (Dutch: "Next steps after our conversation — enthusiastic!") was received on June 11 at ~12:57 and has been re-read 7+ times across June 11–12 without a reply. The sender is enthusiastic about next steps. Based on timing (received just before the IMAGIN.studio call), this email may be from a previous contact — possibly Foreside or another pipeline company. It appeared in both Inbox.other and Spam folders, suggesting potential spam-filter issues.[1] [2] [3]
As of June 14 — 5 days without a reply — the GOALS document identified this as the single most critical overdue action in the job search pipeline. However, this concern was resolved by June 15.
The "Vervolgstappen na ons gesprek — enthousiast!" email thread — which dominated earlier GOALS updates as a multi-day unanswered email — appears to have resolved positively. On June 15, Jan confirmed receipt of a calendar invite for the second IMAGIN.studio interview:[4]
The scheduling of a second interview confirms IMAGIN.studio's continued strong interest despite the delayed response. Jan also reviewed the IMAGIN.studio company page and job listings on LinkedIn on June 15.[4]
On June 15, Jan reviewed the Senior Full Stack Engineer listing on LinkedIn (43s) and browsed IMAGIN.studio posts on LinkedIn (38s) — light but targeted preparation.[4]
The GOALS document (updated June 17) identifies the prep window for the second interview as June 17 afternoon/evening — between the Hyre in-person meetings and the IMAGIN.studio call the next day.[5]
On June 18, Jan completed the second interview at IMAGIN.studio. Preparation began at 11:12 with the calendar invite review, followed by:[6]
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 11:14–11:15 | Researched interviewer Fatma Chtioui (Garbaa) on LinkedIn |
| 11:20–11:26 | Product deep-dive: Studio Imagery, 360 View, API, Lifestyle solutions (~8 min) |
| 11:31–11:42 | Thorough API docs review: getCarListing, Color Swatches, Image Customization, Deployment Guides, signedUrl creation, Careers, Senior Fullstack Developer posting, pricing plans |
| 11:46–11:49 | SEO & GEO Optimization docs, AI-powered docs search, 360° example |
| ~13:15–14:09 | Google Meet interview (~55 minutes of active session) |
The interview was accessed earlier than the originally scheduled 15:15 slot — the Google Meet link (rqv-qqyq-nym) shows activity from 13:15, suggesting the time was moved or Jan joined early.[6]
During the prep window (12:16), Jan also read a Stratechery article interviewing Parag Agarwal about "valuing content on the agentic web" — directly relevant to his own Parallel_AI and uithub work.[6]
Post-interview, the afternoon was relaxed: browsing X (Rob Hallam, Guillermo Rauch tweets), checking a Tibber Senior Fullstack Engineer job listing, and watching WK 2026 matches. The evening included Claude-assisted movie recommendations (Coherence, Predestination, Under the Skin, The Man from Earth, Aniara, Palm Springs) — a clear decompression signal after a high-stakes interview week.[6]
