I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Binance
Interview
3 rounds of tech: basic skills (programming language, data structure, sdk/lib), solution for some scenario, project architect.
1 round of HR: previous working experience, expected salary, etc.
No algorithm test. No take home.
HR around to check your background, then followed with 2 tech interviews, last round will be manager round.
Process is fast, so its possible to finish the whole process within a week, but most interviewer will speak Chinese.
The interview process consisted of multiple rounds focusing heavily on backend fundamentals and real-world system design. The interviewers asked in-depth questions about Java, Redis, and Kafka, including internal mechanisms and implementation details. Some discussions went down to source code level, requiring a strong understanding beyond just high-level concepts. The process was quite technical and detail-oriented, with less emphasis on behavioral questions.
4 rounds, 3 technical rounds and last round with HR.
My role was as a FE developer. Make sure you understand the language well and its gotchas, as the interviewers expect you to have a deep understanding of the language and the JS engine
