I had a Zoom call with two interviewers. We mainly discussed my personal fit and past work experiences. They asked about my previous roles and how they would align with this current position. They said they'd get back to me within a week, but I never heard from them.

The interview process was quite straightforward. I had a conversation with a team manager about my past experiences and what I'm interested in. It felt like a casual chat with a colleague, which was a positive experience. During the conversation, there were also some theoretical technical questions.
