The interview process was really pleasant.

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about the job. She scheduled a phone screen for the next day.

There were a couple of easy questions, and then she told me she was going to put me through.

The second round was a technical phone screen with an actual engineer. The questions were simple:

• FizzBuzz
• Export to CSV
• Pull data from logs and count it

There weren't a whole lot of data structures involved, though you had to know dictionaries and similar concepts. There were no typical software engineering-style questions.

I emailed my recruiter some feedback about the interview, and she emailed me back to put me through to the last (onsite) round.

This was scheduled, and they sent a car to pick me up because I don't drive.

I met the coordinator, who introduced me to the first engineer I met with. He did a deep dive into all the stuff I knew about networking, UNIX, operating systems, parallelism, security, and other relevant topics.

The next engineer presented a case study, focusing on the scalability of a simple system.

Both engineers were really good at presenting the problems clearly.

Take part of a log file and export it to CSV.
