I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.

A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn and clearly explained the role requirements and interview timeline. Since I was holding multiple offers at the time, Wave was flexible and accelerated the interview process.

The process consisted of six interviews in total, including a discussion with a senior vice president. All interviews were highly technical, and I appreciated the depth and rigor of the evaluation. The rounds covered:

• Coding
• System design
• Architecture
• Performance optimization
• Culture fit

Once I accepted the offer, the team was flexible with my joining date, especially as the holiday season was approaching.

Coding round: Started with a relatively simple problem and became progressively more challenging.

System Design, Architecture, and Performance: Aligned with traditional software development interviews but tailored to the specific domain and real-world constraints.

Culture fit: Focused on how the candidate approaches scenarios common in a product-driven development environment.
