Senior Engineer Interview Experience - Germany

Process

A typical tech interview process where you first talk to a recruiter, then hiring manager followed by more tech interviews.

The tech interviews are not typical whiteboard interviews where you have to code sorting algorithms or thinks like that. The interviews were more about technical design, debugging, etc. and felt more like a discussion between peers than a questionnaire.

All people involved were super friendly and helpful.

Questions

How would you design a certain component that already exists in the team they're hiring for?
