I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog in Jul 2024
Interview
It's long process with multiple steps. You may expect algorithm interviews, coding interviews, system design interviews and a fit interview.
Although this seems complicated (and it is), you will have time and proper advices to prepare the interviews properly. There's no tricks there.
One knowledge interview and one technical interview afterwards. Knowledge was fine. During the tech one, the interviewer was not listening. The problem was a standard one. Got rejected after second round.

Screening RH, qui mentor durant le process, puis deux rounds, le deuxième avec 4 test différents. Bon feedback tout du long. C'est fluide et le RH est là pour aider à préparer les sujets.
El proceso constó de tres fases principales. Primero, apliqué online a un puesto de trabajo disponible. Posteriormente, pasé a una entrevista técnica de aproximadamente una hora, enfocada principalmente en el desarrollo, integración y securización de APIs. También discutimos estrategias de despliegue, monitorización y gestión de recursos en la nube utilizando el ecosistema de Azure. Por último, realizamos un ejercicio conversacional sobre buenas prácticas de código y arquitectura. Fue un proceso fluido y el equipo fue muy profesional.
