Our interview process consists of three technical interviews. Each takes between 60 to 90 minutes and is conducted by interviewers from different teams. Then there is a final hour-long interview. We can accomodate your schedule, so there’s no need to cram all the sections into one day. We’ll assess:
Your proficiency in working with Linux and networks.
Your competency with standard console tools and utilities.
Your ability to handle common service operation issues.
Your proficiency in writing working, testable code in a chosen language (Python, Go, etc.).
Your experience in the design and architecture of different services/systems.
Your knowledge of the classical algorithms and data structures.
Here’s what you can expect during the first interview:
Utilize online practice resources to sharpen your problem-solving skills beforehand, such as coding challenges and algorithmic puzzles available on websites like LeetCode or HackerRank.
Articulate your thought process aloud, presenting compelling justifications for your conclusions. Our experts value both your reasoning and correct answers.
Don’t hesitate to seek a hint from the interviewer if needed; they are there to help guide you through the problem-solving process and assess your approach.
Thoroughly review your code for any errors before final submission, ensuring proper indentation and formatting to enhance readability and maintainability.
Offer alternative solutions whenever possible, as your initial choice may not always be the most optimal. If you discover a way to improve your final answer, please inform us even if we’ve moved on.
Demonstrate adaptability by gracefully adjusting your approach if the problem parameters change unexpectedly.
