Interview Structure

We usually have a two stage interview process. once the screening is done by a recruiter and the application is accepted by the team, the interview process starts.

1. Technical Interview

This interview typically lasts about 60-90 minutes and covers a range of technical topics. You'll be asked to solve coding problems, discuss system design concepts, and explain your thought process. The interviewer will be looking for your problem-solving skills, coding ability, and how you approach complex technical challenges.

Its unlikely you’ll have to brush up on your algorithms skills but a general level of algorithms knowladge is expected. The live technical challenge starts with a simple problem, and we build up on complexity based on the candidates expertise.

We’ll dive into particular domain questions and general engineering practices and let you explore the engineering practice at Rilla as well.
