BengaluruPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview process felt pretty clear in how it was laid out: I had a few technical rounds that were each focused on a different slice of CDN-style work, and then a manager and behavioral touchpoint.

The first technical round was an API design question, and then the next round was a design round centered on CDN features inside the CDN system.

After those technical discussions, I had a manager round where I explained my projects in a more general, conversational way. Then I did an “Orange cloud” behavioral round, which was simpler and more straightforward.

I ended up with an offer, and honestly the thing I remember most is how the questions tracked a theme—API design into CDN system design—rather than jumping randomly across unrelated topics.
