Senior Full-Stack Engineer Interview Experience - Brazil
Process
I decided not to proceed with the Full-Stack role as it didn’t align with my expectations. It was highly focused on back-end and relational databases.
Stage 1 (HR screening):
The recruiter covered the company, the position, my background, and my goals. He focused heavily on relational databases and emphasized the company’s rapid growth, then asked if I’d be willing to work overtime when needed.
Next step:
They sent me a take-home assessment on handling database concurrency. They also handed me a guide for the process, which was labeled as a Back-end role.
Questions
How much hands-on experience do you have with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server)?
Our company is growing rapidly—how do you feel about joining a fast-paced environment?
Occasionally, we need to work overtime to hit deadlines. Is that something you'd be comfortable with?
