It was a two-hour interview divided between two one-hour technical and more team lead questions. They say it is a lead engineer role with no direct reports or people management, but still you will be responsible for the delivery.
They sent a code that wanted to do some improvement and changes, and I was able to get the code working and apply the changes.
