Process

I applied online.

Technical round: 60 minutes, live, CodeSignal for the editor with Google Meet for video. One Coinbase engineer. Pair-programming style — they watch you work and talk with you throughout, rather than leaving you alone with a prompt. The format inside the hour: a problem delivered in parts. You solve part one, then they add a requirement, then another. The later parts change what the right data structure is, so the early choice matters.
