Process

Phone interview:

  • Leetcode
  • Software architecture design (different from systems design as it is more down to how you would design a microservice)

Friendly interviewer, very good explanation of what to expect from the role.

Questions

Asked questions about:

  • relationship building
  • tell me about myself
  • what I liked about my work
  • a time I learned something new
  • how I keep up-to-date with current technology
  • how I use AI in my work (advised against being extreme, i.e., completely handing your work to AI and completely hating AI)
