Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.

There were 3 stages:

  • Take-home challenge
  • Technical interview based on the take-home challenge
  • System design and behavioural interview

The interviewers were all really nice and competent on their topic.

Questions

How would you implement a service that regularly needs to do a single request to a third-party endpoint? What challenges do you face, and how do you overcome them?
