Technical Coding
First, I chatted with HR. Then, there was an online coding test that lasted 70 minutes and included 3 Node.js questions, 3 SQL questions, and 3 JS questions. Finally, I had an interview with the R&D group lead.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you explain how the JavaScript runtime operates, including the call stack, event loop, and task queues?
- Imagine a scenario where a front-end developer fails to disable an order button after a click, allowing a user to submit duplicate orders through the API. How would you prevent this duplicate order on the server-side?
- Describe the process of building a scalable video upload system similar to YouTube, which handles uploading videos in three qualities (360p, 720p, 1080p) and then triggers a Lambda function to email the user with metadata upon completion. How would you initiate this Lambda function?

Behavioral Technical
I submitted my application online. The day after, a recruiter reached out for a brief chat and then arranged a phone interview with a team leader. This interview wasn't technical; it was more of a get-to-know-you session. The team leader indicated I'd proceed to the next stage, with HR handling the onsite interview scheduling. However, after a few days, I received a standard rejection email, which was surprising given the positive feedback from the interviewer.

The review process was fast and they were impressed by my skills, but after contacting my references, they told me I am overqualified for this position. This might mean the work there is really boring, so watch out!
