United StatesPosted Sep 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied and the director of engineering reached out, and right away we talked about leveling.

He said I didn’t have quite enough experience for staff software engineer, but he was willing to proceed as a junior staff software engineer. Early on, we exchanged emails and the discussion included static vs dynamic typing, and then a short call about how to handle a simple phone app.

For the coding portion, I had to deal with TCP requests and work with a stack/queue. It wasn’t too bad, but the system design part was tough for the junior-level framing. Even the interview logistics felt a bit shaky: the recruiter mentioned 30 minutes, but the interviewer expected 45 and sounded disappointed
