Process

Initial virtual meeting with HR.
Technical interview with a senior engineer. Discussion about experiences and challenges, with some questions but no coding.
Technical challenge (REJECTED): This was mainly because it was my first time with Django, and they expected someone more experienced. They asked for specific features of the framework that weren't basic for a first-time project.
