Heard back from the hiring manager pretty quickly after applying. The interview was on-camera using Teams. The hiring manager sent a link and started the call right on time. We started with intros, then they talked about the team's needs and what's expected in the role. The conversation went smoothly and wrapped up with the hiring manager offering me the job.
