Saskatoon, SKPosted Jan 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Software Engineer with a more rigorous, harder-feeling technical and architecture-heavy sequence, including system-level topics and deeper multi-day panels.

Recruiter screening — I started with a recruiter conversation to confirm fit.
Manager / hiring manager round(s) — I then met with leaders for broader technical direction and interpersonal context.
Technical evaluation (including project work) — I prepared and demonstrated skill through a project on the DigitalOcean platform.
Onsite-style multi-session interviews — I went through several teleconferenced rounds over multiple days with deep technical discussions plus architecture exercises and distributed-systems/system-design focus.
Take-home / deep dive components
