Coding Technical
I found the Beaconfire job on LinkedIn, and a recruiter got in touch. We had a first chat over the phone, then I did an online assessment, and finally, a technical interview. The person interviewing me was really nice, and even when I had some tech problems on my end, she was super patient.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interviews were pretty straightforward, with two main parts. First, a chat with HR, and then a technical interview. The technical part covered basic Python and SQL coding, plus some general data engineering concepts. They also emphasized the importance of communication skills and being easy to collaborate with, since they plan to provide a lot of training on the technical stuff during onboarding.
