After applying online, a recruiter reached out. The conversation was casual and friendly. First, I had a technical assignment where I needed to code an API endpoint for a simple task. I completed it and it passed. Next, I had a video call with the team. We discussed my technical assignment, focusing on my choices for package versions and configurations. They didn't comment on my code quality, project structure, or any other engineering aspects, which was disappointing. They also asked why I didn't use Docker, even though it wasn't required. Finally, they mentioned considering me for another team needing a more senior engineer and that the process would take about a month. I asked if they could expedite it, but I haven't heard back since.
