- 30 min technical screen High level discussion about python and engineering basics - 1 hr coding exercise easiest coding problem I've done, almost thought it was a joke tbh. First was, create a class that calculates the moving average of a list of numbers Second was, basic SQL statement Third was, something about modifying the words in the string to remove "ing" "ed" "ly" at end of some words - 1 hr deep technical discussion Pretty straightforward architectural design call with two of the engineers. If you know what a microservice you'll do fine lmao. - 30 min call with senior director just a cultural type interview call seeing who I am and why I wanted to work there. not great vibes with this guy tbh
