Technical Behavioral
We kicked things off with some emails. They hit me with a few technical questions, asking about my prior experience with certain tools and to detail my background. They also wanted to know about my salary expectations and if I'd need them to sponsor a work visa since it's an international role. Since it's an international position, they also inquired about my English proficiency.

Finally, an in-person stage with two one-hour panel interviews and an hour-long C++ coding evaluation where I had to write a small program in a Linux terminal.
