Pricipal Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

November 1, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took over a week.

It was a phone screen, which was very typical. It started off with resume stuff and slowly moved to Hello interview concepts, such as scaling reads and writes. The last 20 minutes involved coding an LRU cache.
