Shortly after applying for the position, I had a phone screening with the recruiter. They asked standard screening questions and explained the rest of the process. There was a long wait to get to the next stage for a technical interview.

The technical interview was half Q&A and half live-coding. This interview aimed not only to solve a technical problem but also to demonstrate how you articulate your ideas and collaborate with the interviewer.

After passing the technical interview, we moved on to the panel interviews. The recruiter and their team moved quickly to schedule the interviews because I had another offer waiting. The interviews consisted of:

• Two coding challenges
• One system design challenge
• One product manager interview
• One hiring manager interview

The day wrapped up with a short debrief with the recruiter on my experience. I received a verbal offer later that day and the official offer a few days later.

The technical interviews were pretty challenging, but the interviewers did everything they could to guide me in the right direction.

Shout out to Andre, the recruiter I worked with. Andre made sure to check how I felt throughout the process and addressed all of my questions promptly!
