United StatesPosted Jul 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had two interviews total, and one of them was with the manager on the team.

Most of it was conversational, centered on walking through my previous experience and doing a lot of discussion around data engineering work. The other interview also focused on data engineering experience and context, rather than trying to trick me with obscure questions.

It didn’t lead to an offer. The thing I found myself thinking afterward was that, while the manager-style conversation format was comfortable, it still ultimately came down to how well my experience matched what they were building.
