I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2024
Interview
3 Stages. First Stage is an online coding assessment and a long typed QA- almost 7 pages of questions. After that it's a hiring manager call, and finally a techinical interview with engineers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Online Assessment is a progressive set of questions based in python. Each problem builds on the code you wrote on the previous problems.
Overall 6-8 rounds took around 5months.
Software Architecture interview : gave me some scenario about software development and asked me about what I would do, what tech stacks I would use, how would I manage a project, my open source contributions, agile vs waterfall etc. and other software development practices

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical (Nairobi) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview was quite accomodating since the first written interview was for 2 weeks. The second one was for 1 month giving time to do them. It is not suitable for someone seeking for a job in the next one week, month or two
Terrible experience on so many levels. I wrote an 10 page essay and got rejected. Second interview is an automated leetcode style question. Never got past to the third step.
