Started with a quick phone chat with the recruiter. Then had two more video calls. The whole thing took about a month from the first call to getting the offer. Scheduling was pretty flexible with the hiring team.

The interview process started with a quick 30-minute phone call, and then I had an in-person interview at the office. The in-person part included meetings with the manager and the technical lead, and they also showed me around the office and talked about the company.
