Process was really good and clear from the start. The first interview happened right after submitting the resume, we talked about career moments, salary expectations, etc. After 15 days, came the technical part: there were 2 challenges on HackerRank, a code review, and an architecture design. Finally, a chat with management and the offer.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral

In the call with the recruiter, we talked about me, the company, culture, benefits, and compensation. The technical round included a live coding session where I developed and solved a problem. Afterwards, we discussed development best practices and code review using another code example. Following the live coding, we had a discussion about cloud and software architecture. In the meeting with the tech manager, I was introduced to the team for the role, and then we had an in-depth conversation about architecture and cloud.
