I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Runway (NYC) (New York, NY) in Dec 2023
Interview
Started with an HR screening, followed by a coding challenge, a UI challenge, a virtual onsite (behavior, system design, talk with director of engineering), and finally calls with the CEO and CTO.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Runway (NYC) in Jun 2026
Interview
The first 2 rounds are a pretty standard Leetcode style coding question and systems design question! Onsite consisted of another systems design as well as a code review interview along with a couple of culture-add interviews
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Their systems design questions are built around actual features you might build which include handling large assets, GPU usage, etc
There are two technical screening (coding + system design) before the onsite. The feedback and decision make loop is super efficient, usually you get updates the same day! Interviewers are friendly and they know what they are looking for based on your background. Overall, very nice interviewing experience.

Question 1
Coding round was not too leet code style, more relevant to the job.
