I sent in my application on the company's careers page. The hiring manager reached out and set up an online interview. The first round had two engineers. I think there were probably two or three interviews in total, but I haven't heard back since the first one.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process was great. I was contacted by the hiring manager for an initial phone chat. We talked about my skills and what I'm looking for. The hiring manager shared company details and was upfront about things, which I appreciate. Since the call went well, we set up an in-person interview. The hiring manager was clear about who I'd meet, which helped me prepare. The onsite interview went smoothly as scheduled. The next day, the hiring manager called me back to meet the CEO for a final interview, which also went well. I was told they'd discuss internally and get back to me the same day or next, and they did. I got the job offer! The whole process was smooth and wrapped up in about a week to a week and a half.
