The interview process was quite thorough and spanned several stages over the course of a few weeks, but it was definitely fruitful. It kicked off with an initial phone screen to go over my background and motivations. After that, I met with a panel of cross‑functional team members for deeper dives into both my technical skills and problem-solving approach. Finally, there was a cultural‑fit conversation with HR to ensure alignment on values and working style. Although it felt long, each step gave me valuable insights into the role and company—and ultimately helped both sides confirm it was the right fit.
