Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
August 15, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.
- Recruiter call
- Tech screen (multi-layered DSA + OOD/LLD question)
- Onsite had three rounds. First was a debugging round. I was given a GitHub repo, which had a small code base (~500 lines of code and 7-8 source files). There were 4 or 5 bugs, and I had to debug sequentially. Second round was a standard system design round. Third round was an AI round where I was expected to build a functional full stack app (DB, API layer, frontend).
- Behavioural (never made it to this round)
Questions
Object-oriented design tech screen that required simple algos and data structures such as hashmaps and graphs.
Design a digital wallet app similar to PayPal or Venmo.

Remote-first, Supportive, Evolving Culture
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
December 29, 2020
Pros: The company is now remote-first and has worked hard to make the necessary cultural changes to support this, including moving towards a written culture of communication rather than endless Zoom meetings (similar to Amazon's memo culture).
Everyone I've met is smart and hardworking and happy to help out. There's a constant feedback process, as the leadership team and managers are open to improvements in the company's processes.
Cons: My specific team is relatively new, so there are still some processes being fleshed out.
