Process
The interview process consisted first of an online coding challenge. Next, I was contacted by a recruiter and had a Zoom interview with an engineer. This was a very practical coding question for about an hour.
Next, I was scheduled for two 1-hour, back-to-back Zoom technical challenges. The first was a similar coding problem, and the second involved an actual project, making requests and executing tests.
