Sourcegraph Customer Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

It started with a discovery call, then 3 interviews. The first one was a general chat to get to know each other and see if my skills fit since I hadn't worked with their type of platform before. The second was more technical, covering languages, infrastructure, and the Sourcegraph platform itself; I did some DevOps research to prep for this. Both these interviews were with the hiring manager. Then I spoke with the regional sales manager about how I'd work with sales execs and my thoughts on the sales process, plus past engagements. The final stage was a role-play discovery call with a prospect. I was given client background and challenges, and I had to ask questions to understand them and then pitch Sourcegraph. This required prep on client references and a basic demo. I also had an interview with a peer, which was good for understanding the day-to-day work at Sourcegraph.

Sourcegraph is really open about their interview process, their handbook is public and the hiring team is super helpful and ready to answer questions. The flow is pretty typical: a phone screen, then a chat with the hiring manager, followed by a technical or take-home assessment, and finally a panel interview before an offer. I found it 'Difficult' because I felt I really had to prep to understand and demo their product, but everyone was so helpful it made me feel ready and good about it at each step. I've never been so sure about accepting an offer. It was the best interview experience I've had!

This interview process was set up so both us and you could get to know each other. We made sure each step was super clear so you knew what to expect. Plus, everyone was ready with questions to see what you're made of, and they were all really engaging and open! Sourcegraph is a top-notch company with values that are super well-thought-out and clear! It was a great experience interviewing with the team!
