Interview
After I submitted the initial application and my resume was reviewed, they got back to me to schedule a live call interview some time in the following two weeks.
The first interview was a call with a current software engineer, and we went through a single programming problem together in around an hour. He didn't run my code at all, but suggested possible refinements or flagged issues where applicable.
I was able to come up with the correct solution during the interview, but did not progress to the next round.
