Interview Process
The interview process started with a brief phone screening with an HR representative, focusing on my background and motivations. After passing the initial screening, I had a technical interview with one of the engineering managers. The main topic was system design, where I was asked several questions about scalability and performance. For instance, I was asked how I would design a backend service for a mobile app handling thousands of requests. The interviewer was interested in my thought process, so I discussed various approaches and trade-offs. At the end of the technical rounds, I was given some behavioral questions that aligned with the company’s core values. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Tips & Insights
Focus on articulating your thought process during technical interviews, as interviewers often value problem-solving approaches as much as the final solution. Be prepared to discuss trade-offs in your designs and align your answers with the company’s core values during behavioral questions.
