Initial Screening:

A recruiter or HR representative conducts a brief phone or video call to discuss your experience, skills, and career goals. They may also go over basic technical questions or ask about your familiarity with relevant technologies.

Technical Assessment:

Candidates may be asked to complete a coding challenge or an online test, often covering algorithms, data structures, and system design. This can be a take-home assignment or a timed test on platforms like HackerRank or LeetCode.

Technical Interviews:

First Round: Typically a live coding session with a Software Engineer or Tech Lead. Expect algorithmic problems, coding exercises, and discussions on best practices.

Second Round: A deeper technical discussion, potentially involving system design, API development, or database optimization, depending on the role’s focus.
