Initial call with a member of HR. Screening call with a senior member of engineering staff. Two technical interviews, 1st architecture and system design, 2nd live coding (assignment is given a few days beforehand) the interviewers ask about the solution and request some additional changes. On site interview with a product owner. Call with a VP Offer call.

The interview process was quick and well-organized, even though it included all the usual steps: an initial HR chat, a preliminary fit interview, a pair programming challenge, a system design round, a conversation with the product manager, and a final interview with the hiring manager. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, open, and professional. The questions were practical and relevant — thankfully, there were no generic ones like “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Each interview followed a clear structure: 5–10 minutes to get to know each other, around 45 minutes for the main task or discussion, and the last 10 minutes for my questions. The difficulty level was fair — challenging enough to reflect the team's high standards and their serious approach to hiring, but not unreasonably hard. The focus was on real-world work, problem-solving, and thought process rather than memorizing algorithms or solving the hardest LeetCode problems. Overall, it felt like a very respectful and meaningful process.
