Passed 2 technical sections. The first section is relatively standard on programming language + solving real cases that developers meet in the company. The second section is more focused on system design and understanding of upper-level technologies that are used on the project. The questions are project specific, which is great, but because of this your previous experience in the same domain is very important. If you haven't had any, you're going to have a hard time. If you've worked with similar systems before, the questions may seem easy. I like such a targeted approach from the company, as I immediately understand at the interview stage what is in store for me on the technical side of the job.

The process was quite fast. It took about a week to complete HR, technical and technical manager interviews. It is mostly a Russian speaking company with a monolithic architecture, RabbitMQ, gRPC and Java 21. I had a very positive experience with Tanya, HR manager, and Stas who conducted the technical interview. On the other hand Damir, the technical manager, was openly negative from the start of the interview.
