Sunnyvale, CAPosted May 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I first connected with a recruiter by email, and after aligning on the basics for a Staff Software Engineer role, I was scheduled for a technical phone screen.

That call was a focused debugging exercise. I had a task to complete and implemented it using an MVVM approach, then the interviewer had me extend it by integrating a persistence layer and handling follow-ups. I ran into time pressure during the integration steps and didn’t get to run everything through end-to-end before the session ended.

Once I got the go-ahead, I asked for a delay since I wasn’t interviewing actively, and they slotted me into a full-day onsite. The onsite was broken into several timed blocks: a long debugging or pair-programming round, then an Android system design
