Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the architecture of the software product you're working on now? Draw the architecture on the whiteboard and discuss.
Video call with scrum master and high-level developer. Very conversational - they were more interested my approach to a problem over the syntax and whatnot. Questions were not difficult - just seemed useful to weed out people that had no experience in the particular disciplines.

Question 1
I don't remember. Beyond "Tell us about yourself" - it wasn't an overly technical interview. They used conversation about the industry to get a deeper impression.
I interviewed at Volusion (Austin, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on linkedin in July and asked if I wanted to interview for a software engineering position. I had mentioned several times throughout the process that I was only looking for backend positions even though they had full stack listed on their jobs page and was assured that was fine. After going through multiple phone screens, a technical coding challenge (a backend challenge to build an api with aws lambda), a technical phone interview, and review of the project I was told they were actually only looking for full stack, with emphasis on front end candidates. Volusion needs to be able to narrow down what it is they are looking for putting candidates through the interview process that could take up to a month to complete.
