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.
Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Astranis
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
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.
