Process

First, they just send you a phone screen to talk more about your background, why forward deployed vs. normal SWE, and some behavioral stuff.

The first technical round was a code pair interview using HackerRank and Microsoft Teams. It was barely DSA, mainly just needed a for loop and hash table.

Questions

Do you know the difference between forward deployed and normal SWE? Why do you want to do forward deployed?
