I interviewed via Zoom with a group of researchers leading the project, it wasn't a one-on-one thing. It was short, mostly asking about past experiences. I made sure to prepare some questions for them about the research projects and the facilities. They seemed really interested in my coding abilities and any previous work I'd done with different software and programming languages. Just a heads up, getting an interview doesn't guarantee you'll get the job.
