Spoke to recruiter and hiring manager. Followed up multiple times with recruiter but never responded. Saw on LinkedIn that a new person got the job, and that's how I found out the job opening was filled.

Interview
The process went very well - I applied through LinkedIn and after 10 min I already received an email to schedule the screening call. I had 3 interviews in total: Screening, hiring manager, and panel (mock call).
From the recruiter to the panel, all the people I interviewed with were absolutely amazing! I had such a great experience.
If you are have experience in such role, passing the interviews wouldn't be hard, just need to practice properly.
