I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Steadily in Feb 2025
Interview
"tell me about yourself" x 3
Coding interview where you implement a very basic class in python. You will be judged on some random member of their team's ideas on what constitutes a good mental model for implementing freshman level code structures. Total waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a class that, given a list of documents, can return the latest version of all document types for a given state. Told to implement a basic version then iteratively improve the performance. Literally any junior engineer should be able to implement this.
It was a two day paid contract where I worked with the team on actual work.
I was given tickets and expected to ask questions and do the work to make actual PRs in their codebase.

Question 1
Besides actual tickets, they wanted to know how I would approach improving their existing codebase.
