I applied online.

• Initial recruiter screen: role alignment, experience, and logistics
• Technical interview(s): coding, system design, and problem-solving relevant to the role
• Deep-dive / practical exercise: real-world scenarios or take-home task
• Team & culture interviews: collaboration, communication, and values fit
• Final discussion: leadership alignment, Q&A, and offer review

They focused on how I’ve designed and scaled real-world systems end to end—specifically asking me to walk through a concrete example where I took a complex system from requirements to production, handled trade-offs, and resolved failures under real constraints.
