Interview tips
Focus on your ability to break down ambiguous, real-world problems rather than memorizing theoretical concepts. Be ready to clearly articulate the architectural and trade-off decisions behind projects you’ve built from scratch or deployed into production. In the conversations, communicate your thought process out loud, ask clarifying questions early, and demonstrate both speed of execution and strong customer empathy.
Company culture
High density of talent paired with a pragmatic approach to things. Great interactions during interviews. You can feel a sense of ownership in the people. Team looks high agency with focus on building.
