Applied online, informational chat with a recruiter, take home code project & phone interview, 5 total interviews onsite: 2 coding/algo questions with engineers, 1 white boarding session with engineers, 1 interview with hiring manager, 1 interview with CEO.
Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. You get to bring your own machine / tech stack and use whatever you feel most comfortable with. Questions are similar to those asked at other software companies.

Question 1
Questions are similar to those asked at other tech companies.
Failed at HR call. Profile might not be that much match, they are looking for backend leaning role but I did more front end works instead. HR might not look up my resume carefully.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Opendoor (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2025

Very easy and straightforward very nice people enjoyed the conversation that we had a lot and benefitted a lot from it so I would thank them for that

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Opendoor
Interview
There was a phone screen which was followed by an onsite interview with 4-5 interviews, some technical, others behavioral. It was interesting that they included some ML-based questions in the SWE interview. Afterward, I heard back pretty quickly.
