Process

I applied through a staffing agency.

There were two interviews.

  • The first one was focused on system design.
  • The second one was a review of my entire career, with a discussion of the biggest challenges and a lot of technical details.

Questions

I was asked about the most recent problem I remember, the biggest challenge I faced, and how I would patch an npm package step by step, from the first step to the last.
