Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was initially contacted via LinkedIn. The process started with a recruiter call, then a hands-on technical screen, and lastly a final round of 5 interviews.

This round included a mix of coding, system design, and a hiring manager interview. It was scheduled over a few days due to my preference.

Questions

Technical screen:

I was interviewing for an infrastructure team, so this interview consisted of a live application troubleshooting situation in a test AWS account. It covered a breadth of topics.

Final rounds:

As this was for a senior position, there were more system design interviews performed using an online whiteboarding tool than there were coding interviews.
