1. Initial chat with manager to learn more about the team and the role.

2. Tech screen involved building a small UI component to match a working example.

Virtual onsite consisted of:

• Algorithmic programming exercise of a financial-themed problem.
• Formal and in-depth manager chat, learning more details about the team and asking behavioral/past experience questions to determine culture fit.
• "Integration" which consisted of programming API calls against real Stripe production servers with error handling and some data manipulation required.
• Frontend system design for a real Stripe page, decomposing the components needed with their APIs and state, ensuring accessibility (a11y) and allowing for future changes.
• Bug squash with a fork of a real open-source repo containing a bug, an issue describing the problem, and including failing test cases. I reproduced the failing test case, walked through the code to find the root cause, explained the cleanest and highest-performance solution, implemented it, and then ran the entire test suite to make sure everything worked.

The entire process from initial screening to offer was exactly 4 weeks.
