I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NVIDIA
Interview
I spoke to the Hiring Manger - who was great and kind. I found the Recruiter to not be so responsive and not give so much information regarding what's to come. I had a technical interview with 2 engineers remotely where I had one riddle and one bit manipulation question. Overall I didn't find it to be too hard - more just out of no where and a very low level for a position that is not embedded

A typical software engineering coding interview focuses on problem-solving under time pressure. Candidates are usually given one or more algorithmic problems similar to those found on LeetCode. The interviewer evaluates data structures, algorithm selection, code correctness, time and space complexity analysis, communication clarity, edge-case handling, and debugging ability. Interviews often begin with clarifying questions, followed by writing executable or near-executable code on a shared editor or whiteboard. Strong candidates explain trade-offs, optimize incrementally, test thoughtfully, and remain calm while reasoning through unfamiliar problems.
