Brief call by recruiter followed by phone screen with two interviewers. This session was mostly a coding round with questions around data-structures. There were two pieces to it and I eventually solved both. I did not qualify perhaps because of a false-start to the solution of the second problem though I quickly corrected myself.

The phone screen was more intense than I'd anticipated, lasting about 45 minutes with a mix of behavioral and technical questions. They probed my understanding of system design, specifically challenging me to think through a notification delivery service. I felt prepared, thanks to the company-specific questions I found on PracHub that outlined similar scenarios. The final rounds focused heavily on the scalability and reliability of systems. After a series of interviews, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a rigorous but rewarding experience.
