I applied online via Greenhouse. Three weeks later, GitHub's Talent Acquisition Team emailed me to schedule a video call. I scheduled the call and, after asking a few times, received more information from them about what it would cover.

The recruiter opened the call by asking what questions I had, which surprised me. We ended up discussing my background and current job responsibilities, the roles of the SRE team and related teams at GitHub, and the interview process.

The next step was for the recruiter to open a GitHub repo to me at a certain time. After that, I would have several hours to complete a programming task and submit a PR before the repo closed. The recruiter assured me that GitHub had an internal tool to schedule this process, so I shouldn't feel bad about asking to do it outside business hours.

I asked the recruiter to open it for me on a Sunday at noon. However, when I checked my email Saturday afternoon, I saw that I had already received an invitation to the repo. I emailed the recruiter, who quickly responded and said they would open it manually for me on Sunday. Sunday, starting at noon, I emailed the recruiter to remind them and began checking my email every few minutes, but did not receive an invitation. After a couple of hours, I gave up and emailed them again, suggesting a time to reschedule. The recruiter never answered me.

Eventually, I received an email via Greenhouse that GitHub had rejected my application.

What are your current job responsibilities?
