Technical Behavioral

The interview process involved two main stages: a one-on-one with the hiring manager and a technical interview. The technical part really dives into your overall software development skills and knowledge, covering programming, software systems, and API expertise. It was a pretty comfortable interview, but the experience can really shift depending on the specific team you're interviewing with.

Behavioral Technical Coding

So I got a call from HR first, then two weeks later, I spoke with the hiring manager. He used to be in devops, so the conversation was a bit technical, focusing on my past experiences and asking questions without any coding. Then, four days after that, I had the final interview. It was a Hackerrank-style coding problem, which felt pretty natural. They said two engineers would be there, but it was just one lead engineer. A week after that, they told me they went with someone else.
