Process

Recruiter call → Chat with the engineering manager (she was amazing!) → Technical round on CoderPad.

For the technical round, you’re allowed to use CoderPad’s AI—you can ask it questions or even have it make file edits. You’ll start with an existing project and get some time to go through the code, understand it, and explain what changes you would make. Then, you’ll be asked to implement those changes and add tests. Afterward, they’ll ask questions about the decisions and changes you made.

There’s also a React knowledge section with questions on topics like useCallback vs. useMemo, why Hooks can’t be used inside loops or conditional statements, and similar concepts.
