San Diego, CAPosted Mar 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Software Engineer position in a two-stage flow with average difficulty, starting with behavioral screening and then moving into technical conversations with my future team.

HR behavioral interview — I answered behavioral questions early to cover background and fit.
Technical interview (manager + engineer) — I discussed my resume and experience, including how I used tools mentioned in the job description. The technical round focused heavily on explaining prior work with the required areas, and I was expected to be fluent in those topics. Outcome: I wasn’t selected, but the takeaway was clear: be ready to confidently tie your resume details to the exact tool and responsibility areas listed in the posting.
