Shanghai, ShanghaiPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Software Engineer role with an average-difficulty journey that centered on resume depth, performance/system context, and at least one algorithmic question around the middle.

Self intro + project deep dive — I introduced myself and walked through my previous work; they asked how I optimize a “first page,” why that matters, and then continued into my open-source work.
AI/open-source discussion — I explained how I use AI in my projects and what I learned from using it.
Algorithm problem — I solved a LeetCode-style coding question as the final technical component of this round. Outcome: No offer, but the interaction felt structured around explaining my prior experience clearly before moving into coding.
