A 2-hour technical interview with our senior developer. You will be given a technical problem and the chance to ask the interviewers as many questions as you can to fully understand the question. Then you will have some time to come up with a solution and present it. Further discussion will be conducted based on your solution to better assess your thought-process and problem solving ability.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
