My process started with a hiring-manager-style conversation led by a director. A lot of the time went to behavioral questions and discussion around how I’d work with the team, since it was for a database team. It didn’t feel like a technical grilling so much as an assessment of how I thought about collaboration and the kind of work environment I’d fit.
After that, I went into a larger loop that ended up spanning six rounds: two screening rounds (one with recruiter and one with a hiring manager), followed by a loop of four interviews. Those included live coding for full-stack, system design, and a combined behavioral/collaboration conversation that was framed around working with a designer or PM.

My process had four rounds: backend coding, frontend coding, and two behavioral conversations—one with the manager and one with the product manager. They also had me review a piece of Java code, then asked system design questions. The focus felt like a practical engineering filter rather than just abstract theory.
The technical work landed heavily on Java concurrency utilities and CompletableFuture, and I remember that having basic knowledge of those tools made the interview manageable. System design questions also came up in a way that referenced common building blocks like caching and Kafka, so it wasn’t completely disconnected from day-to-day engineering.
