The interview process was truly the best I've ever experienced from a tech company. I never felt like the stages were repetitive and all of the interviewers were friendly and engaged.
The best part was how clear and straightforward the recruiting team was. I always knew the purpose of the interview I was going into and what I was going to be asked.

Question 1
Most of the questions centered around detection engineering. These were not "trivia" questions and thoughtful questions about how to handle open ended problems.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HackerOne in Apr 2025
Interview
I had 4 rounds of discussion type interviews after an initial recruiter call when applying for a Security Engineer position. The entire process was smooth and very streamlined, every call happened quickly after the previous one and I had an offer at hand in exactly 2 weeks. The recruiter was lovely to speak with and prepped me very well for each call. The discussion topics were challenging and engaging, yet the calls were very enjoyable compared to the typical highly technical Q&A expected for this kind of role.
