If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 30-minute interview during which a member of our team will make sure you're a good fit for the role. You will have the opportunity ask questions and learn more about the role as well. We'll then send you a programming challenge that consists of two parts: LeetCode and SQL. Beyond that step, you will enter the main process, which consists of three interviews: System design exercise hands-on. Live coding in Java/Kotlin. Product thinking and past work. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet. Eligibility to Work in Europe or LATAM: Candidates must hold valid authorization to work in the country where they will be based. At this time, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship or assist with work permit applications.
