Austin, TXPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started off like it would be pretty straightforward, but it ended up taking a lot of time without closure.

I had a hiring manager call that went well, then a live coding round where I built a Battleship-style game. The difficulty felt pretty average, and it didn’t throw me off.

After that, I moved into a larger loop that included an “Orange cloud” behavioral round, debugging, system/product design, a PM-style interview, and another hiring manager conversation. The last interview in the loop included an AI-assisted coding task where I had to use prompts to fix bugs in an unfamiliar project or environment—something they didn’t really flag earlier, which caught my attention midstream.
