I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tracxn (Bengaluru) in Jul 2025
Interview
I applied for the Software Engineer role at Tracxn through a job portal. After completing the entire selection process, I was offered the role of Automation Engineer, with the clarification that the actual work would be the same as that of a Software Engineer.
The interview process started with an online puzzle round, where I received a Google Form containing 20 visual reasoning questions (4th image prediction puzzles). After clearing that round, I was invited for the offline interview at Tracxn’s Bengaluru office.
The first round was a DSA problem-solving round, where I was given a coding question to solve on paper within 30 minutes. This was followed by a technical interview focused mainly on JavaScript, React, and Node.js, where I was asked a mix of theoretical and practical questions.
Next was a coding round, where I had 30 minutes to build the frontend of a basic chat application using React. In the final round, I was asked to discuss the system design of the same chat app specifically the database schema and API design.

The interview process consisted of an initial HR screening call followed by a technical round covering data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. The interviewers were professional and the overall experience was straightforward. Results were communicated within a reasonable timeframe.
