RevenueCat Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started with an experience and values interview question to talk about the last company and projects to evaluate the senior experience. I talked about my last projects and the work that I was currently doing in the company. I expanded on the projects and explained them, but I end up not moving forward in the process. The seniority required for the role was higher. Cool thing was that everyone at the company knows about programming. The conversation was also really nice.

The whole interview process was super quick and easy, wrapped up in about three weeks. Setting up the interviews was a breeze because they had a lot of open slots. I went through a few stages: first, I chatted with an Engineering Manager, then a technical screen. After that, there was an interview loop that dug into system design, testing/debugging, and also checked if I'd be a good culture fit. The last step was a final interview with one of the co-founders. Honestly, it was the best interview I've ever done.

The process is quite extensive, with roughly 9 separate interviews. It starts with a 30-minute chat with a recruiter about your background and the role. Then, there's a 1-hour technical and live-coding session with an engineer. You'll also receive a take-home assignment, which is expected to take about 2 hours. This take-home will be reviewed with an engineer. Following that, there's a 1-hour interview with the team manager, another 1-hour coding session, a 1-hour system design interview, and finally, a 1-hour discussion about cross-functional work and company values. It's a significant time commitment, maybe more than other companies like Square, and it felt like it dragged on because it was hard to schedule. The take-home wasn't very related to the actual job, which was a bit disappointing. I liked the recruiter and engineers, but not so much the others.
