Process
The interview process starts with an initial HR phone call to discuss background, role fit, and logistics.
This is followed by a first-round technical interview with an engineer on the team, which focuses on hands-on problem solving and code-level discussions.
Questions
The interviewer provides a ~300-line codebase and asks me to implement specific functions, debug existing logic, and reason about the code’s behavior and design trade-offs.
