Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks.

It was a three-step process, all conducted remotely.

  • The first step was a screening interview with the hiring manager. We talked about my background, why I was interested in Grafana, and what I wanted to do.
  • The second step was a live coding exercise. I was given a choice of language beforehand, and they gave me a zip file with the problem statement and unit tests. Two members of their development team worked through the problems with me.
  • The final piece was a system design question for architecting a distributed logging system. This was conducted with two other members of the team.
