Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
It was a really great interview process! They have a 2-part online assessment that was clearly well-thought-out. They're looking for someone who can not only write code and a design doc, but also include tons of documentation, including their thinking on trade-offs and risks. The whole thing was super smooth, honestly the best I've had in a while. It's a pretty standard flow: Recruiter Call -> Hiring Manager Call -> Online Assessment -> Final Call -> Offer. The recruiter was awesome, gave me all the info I needed upfront and helped me know who was next. The hiring manager was super knowledgeable and gave a ton of info, which made me really excited. She asked about my experience to see if I'd fit and about times I'd run into issues. Just have some key experiences ready, and you'll be fine. The online assessment was cool! It had two parts. First, you update an API that uses hardcoded values to use a real datastore. The code's in Go, but even though I don't know Go, it was easy to pick up. Second, you write a design doc for the next phase of APIs. Both parts require you to document everything you think of – comment your code a lot and write a really thorough design. They want to see that you can execute but also think about trade-offs and risks, so make sure you include all that. All in all, a fantastic interview approach.

it was easy, got the role from LinkedIn. The technical interview takes a bit, but they make you feel comfortable. First, there's an HR interview, then one with the technical team. Overall, it was a good experience.
