Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, British Columbia
Process
The interview process for a Senior Software Developer is focused mostly on System Design, based on your past experience. As a senior developer, be prepared to describe, in detail, a problem you have solved recently and answer any technical follow-up questions.
The interviewing panel is knowledgeable and open-minded about different approaches, as long as you can justify your choices, tradeoffs, and constraints. Also, be prepared to describe how you would solve a given technical system design problem.
The overall interview process was a great experience for me, and I recommend any software developer who would rather talk about how they solved real-life technical problems instead of completing toy problems online to apply.
There are four stages in the interview process (your mileage may vary):
- Recruiter interview (30 mins)
- Technical interview - Tech Lead (15-30 mins)
- Technical interview - Panel (1 hour)
- Leadership Skills/Values/Technical interview - Panel (1 hour)
