The recruiter reached out via linkedin, then set me up for an OA which I aced, and then arranged a 45 mins conversation with the hiring manager. After this they ghosted me. Totally unprofessional.

Round 1: Coding Assignment (CodeSignal) A take-home or timed industrial coding challenge from code signal Round 2: Hiring Manager Interview A conversation with the hiring manager to discuss your background, interests, and alignment with the role. Onsite Rounds: Round 3: Deep Dive – Work & System Design Discussion A technical deep dive into your past projects and contributions. Be mindful of not just the architecture, but also why some decisions were made. Round 4: Leadership & Behavioral Round A structured behavioral interview to assess leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving in complex situations. Focuses on past experiences, conflict resolution, and decision-making skills. Round 5: API Design & Best Practices (Coding Round) A practical coding session, not purely algorithmic but focused on designing and building a small API/system from scratch. Asked about scalability, maintainability, and software design principles. Round 6: System Design Enhancements Given an existing system design, you’ll be asked to analyze it and propose improvements. Expect discussions around scalability, reliability, trade-offs, and edge cases. I guess I failed at this step, since it was an unknown with this style of interview. Great people involved and were very accommodating.
