Technical System Design Behavioral
First, a recruiter call where they talked about Typeform's values, their product, what they're looking for, and the upcoming interviews, also answered my questions. Then, a System Design round with two other EMs, where I had to design a specific problem, discussing scalability, reliability, and my design choices. Round three was about People Management, focusing on execution, delivery, teamwork, knowledge sharing, and ethics through scenarios. Finally, a Behavioural Interview covering Leadership, World-Class Engineering, Attitude, and my motivation for Typeform. I was advised to use the STAR method for this.

It was pretty simple. First, a call with the recruiter. Then, three interviews focusing on specific skills: step 1 was system design and architecture, step 2 was about managerial skills and experience, and step 3 was for cultural fit. Finally, I had a round with the CTO.

System Design Behavioral Behavioral
I first had some chats with an external recruiter who was working with Typeform. The actual interview process had three parts: System Design Interview, People Management Interview, and Behavioural Interview. Each of these lasted about an hour. Only the System Design one was kind of technical. The interviewers made me feel super comfortable in all of them. It was a good experience.
