I applied through a recruiter.

I interviewed at Datadog.

Interview stages:

1. Recruiter call: Information about the role and opportunity.
2. Phone screen
3. Two coding interviews
4. System design
5. Behavioral interview
6. Team matching

Tips: During the interview, it is crucial to avoid any hints or guidance from the interviewer and to prioritize speed in completing the questions. Datadog values candidates who can finish the questions quickly, allowing for time to address follow-up topics.

Phone Screen - two Leetcode questions (Easy-mid) with follow-ups.

Two coding interviews focused on functions performed at Datadog, such as parsing streams and regular expressions. For example, questions involved determining the number of logs or metrics that satisfy certain conditions and querying about them.
