Process
I applied online.
They give a technical challenge and then schedule a system design interview to do on a whiteboard. It is good to understand asynchronous communication and some key AWS services, as well as fault tolerance techniques, etc.
Questions
They asked whether we should use batch or stream, sync or async.

Not as great company as they sell themselves
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Ciudad de Mexico
June 20, 2025
Pros: Good salary, RSUs upon signing, benefits above the MX law, including SGMM, and grocery voucher.
Cons: Programming languages and tools are not part of the industry standard. Biased management, once someone from the squad's leadership has a strong opinion about an employee, it is impossible to change, despite the efforts made during the year. I've seen a lot of unfair layoffs labeled as "low performance". This is even worse if you are in a global team and you are not from Brazil.
