Process

The technical screen is a rigorous, 90-minute automated assessment, typically administered via CodeSignal, that focuses on practical, multi-part coding problems rather than just abstract LeetCode-style questions. It often involves building functional, real-world components, such as a REST API or an in-memory database with data persistence and edge-case handling.

Questions

The focus was on API REST design, backend development, and the use of your own language.
