The process started with a recruiter screening focused on my background and salary expectations, followed by an online technical assessment. After that, I had two rounds of interviews with data engineers and a hiring manager covering SQL, data modeling, ETL design, and scenario-based questions around large-scale data pipelines. The final round was more about culture fit, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and discussing previous projects. Overall the communication was clear, timelines were reasonable, and the difficulty felt fair but not trivial.
