Process
The technical round kicked off with a design question about creating a JSON Merge API, followed by a coding challenge on finding the shortest bridge to connect two islands. Lastly, I tackled a concurrency-safe shared payment account API design.
The prep I did on PracHub really helped; their company-specific question bank had similar prompts that made me feel ready. Overall, the interview felt average in difficulty. After completing all rounds, I received an offer and happily accepted.
