Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
I had a 1-on-1 interview with a team member. The interview was relatively short and focused mainly on my background, basic Linux/system operation knowledge, and Git-related experience. The interviewer also explained some role expectations, including relocation to San Jose and occasional business travel. Overall, the process felt straightforward and conversational.
