Behavioral Technical

She told me that there were about three to four interview steps. First, there was a phone call with general questions. Then, a technical interview, although I never made it to this level so I can only guess what it's about. Finally, an interview with the hiring managers.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design Case Presentation

The interview process was pretty standard: first a recruiter chat, then a hiring manager chat, followed by one technical interview and another tech interview. Then there was a system design round, and finally a round with a PM/TPM and a DS. Overall, it was a very general process with standard questions. No specific knowledge about crypto was needed, just solid data engineering experience.

The first round was pretty easy, mostly to check if your background fits the job requirements. The second round was more technical and focused heavily on SQL, as they're looking for a really strong SQL background.
