Process

The interview process consisted of a multiple-choice Triplebyte screener, an intro call, a technical coding session, and a half-day onsite with two technical sessions and one design session. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience. Their interview process is practical and consists exclusively of real-world knowledge and skills, not concepts learned in CS101 in college or LeetCode/HackerRank-type questions.

I signed an NDA, so please forgive me that the questions below are vague.

Questions

Creating interactive UI components in CSS, HTML, and vanilla JS

Design / architecture question focusing on the UI and flow of the application

Question involving parsing strings and rendering DOM elements

Question involving visualization and CSS animation
