1. Screening / Initial Call
Format: 30–45 minutes with HR or a recruiter.
Focus:
Background check: relevant experience, leadership exposure, and technical domains.
Motivation for the role and alignment with company culture.
High-level discussion of both people management and technical projects you’ve led.
2. Technical Assessment (Hands-On)
Format: 60–90 minutes, could be take-home or live.
Focus:
Practical problem solving: writing or reviewing code, debugging automation, or analyzing logs.
Designing test strategies for given scenarios (e.g., scaling, performance, integrations).
Moderate complexity — not algorithm-heavy like a coding interview, but enough to assess your ability to be hands-on.
