First, a call with recruiter, then a call with HM immediately followed by a , technical interview with Senior Software Engineer and another engineer, and then an onsite which I would assume have System Design, Technical Question, and Project Deep Dive. Overall very transparent and clear about the entire process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was provided a straight-forward Telemetry log, and based on the log file, needed to implement a function that would provided several information such as number of message a certain consumer received, total bytes sent by each consumer, and the max size of each queue to be able to process given each consumer rate limiter
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Astranis (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Process was as a follows:
- Recruiter Screening
- Hiring Manager Interview
- Technical Debug challenge
- Project breakdown
On-site:
- technical challenge with python
- systems design
- "cross discipline" talking to a non-engineer
- hiring manager interview
- director interview
Overall, the process was easy on a technical level. However, they seem to heavily index on culture fit.
Great interview! Interviewers were nice and they explained the problem clearly and answered any questions that I have. Tech interview was a bit difficult in terms of time but nothing too crazy.
