I went through their interview process and found it quite rigorous but fair. The interviewers asked thoughtful technical questions, focusing on realistic scenarios rather than trivia — which felt refreshing. The tone was supportive; they encouraged me to explain my thought process rather than just give “right” answers. After the interview, I got feedback quickly. Also, they were transparent about expectations and remote-work options from Day 1. All in all — a smooth, respectful, and motivating interview process.

Question 1
Can you walk me through how you would design a scalable service for a feature that needs to handle a high number of concurrent users?
Applied via LinkedIn and received a challenge link. The process is practical: No whiteboard DSA. I had to build a functional backend module. After clearing, I had a 1-hour technical deep-dive with the Lead Developer discussing my implementation, specifically focusing on MongoDB schema design and asynchronous communication (RabbitMQ). The final round was with the CTO regarding product mindset.
