United StatesPosted Jun 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process took about a month end to end, which made it feel like a real commitment.

After the recruiter call, I scheduled a tech screen, and the question was the kind of bio-leaning coding prompt they had posted on the site: generating protein sequences. That part had a medium difficulty feel with enough optimization pressure that it wasn’t just brute force.

The onsite ran over two days and was where things got intense. I started with a 15-minute product overview, then a product-design style round and a debugging plus coding round the first day. The second day included a hiring manager conversation and a longer coding plus system design segment.
