I applied online. The process took 5 weeks.

The process was 100% remote, and it was composed of a few steps, though I imagine that the order might vary in each process:

• Initial screening with the People team, for cultural fit, expectations, and communication
• Architecture whiteboard interview, to understand how you would develop a resilient and scalable architecture using a fictional internal product example
• Coding whiteboard interview, developing an application to solve a specific problem, with a focus on tests and performance
• Interview on OS (Linux), Networks, Cloud, and Containers, to understand troubleshooting skills, theoretical concepts, and line of reasoning
• Interviews with one of the hiring teams, to understand previous projects, problem-solving ability, leadership, responsibilities, and technical challenge compatibility

They were flexible in the process, both in the scheduling of the tests during the process, in moments where I needed to postpone, and in the compensation negotiation in final phases. One of the pieces of advice that I would give to whoever undertakes the process is to focus on communication. Points include:

• How you present your ideas
• How you drive solutions
• Don't be afraid to ask questions when in doubt

It is clearly a process that evaluates you technically, but it is also well thought out on the behavioral side.
