Interview
A phone screen was conducted followed by a phone interview with technical and non-technical questions. The interview went well from my perspective.

Question 1
One of the main questions they asked me was how I would respond to a real-time security breach in a cloud environment. They wanted to understand both my technical skills and how I handle pressure during incidents.
There was a coding round with two questions and then a technical interview with an Analyst then Director. The later mentioned it was for an IAM role so I refused.
