I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bending Spoons in Feb 2026
Interview
First I did First Ascent in 2024, for which I had to do some assignments (~3 hours in total) and 1 behavioral interview.
After that my process was fast-tracked and had 2 interviews - one with behavioral questions and easy riddles, another one with system design. The system design interview was by far the hardest.
Also they required 3 referrals and were talking to each of them.
