1 HR phone screen (just one!) – a quick get-to-know-you call where they double-check fit, salary range, and availability. Super casual, usually 30 min tops.
4 video calls with the team – spread over a day or two. You’ll hop on Zoom with engineers and the hiring managers, trading stories about past projects and seeing if the vibe clicks.
3 of those are technical deep-dives – live coding, maybe a lightweight system-design prompt, plus a couple of “walk me through how you solved ___” moments. Think pair programming meets show-and-tell.
1 final round is all behavioral – the classic “tell me about a time…” questions: conflict resolution, ownership, learning from mistakes, etc. No code, just your stories and how you work with people.
