The interview process involved several stages. First, there was an SQL round where I had to write 2 SQL queries to check my database skills. Then, I was asked some basic Operating Systems questions about processes, memory, and threads. After that, we had an in-depth discussion about my past projects, focusing on design decisions and any challenges I faced. This was followed by a coding round where I had to solve a LeetCode medium-level problem. Finally, there were questions about backend frameworks like Django or FastAPI, covering topics like APIs, routing, and general architecture.
