Staff Data Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Recruiter screen, hiring manager conversation, fairly easy SQL and Python tech screen, the Python portion included writing JSON from an API out to parquet using pandas, system design tech screen - design a CDC system, I did not pass the system design portion, the interviewer was asking extremely specific questions like show me the sample data at each stage of the pipeline.

I have worked a lot with CDC systems, but I'm not sure why anyone would know the exact data formatting by memory. It felt like a filtering question.
