Entrevista
Very very very very very subjective interview process. I don't think your technical background/experience matters. For a tech company, trusting HR to filter out good candidates based on a "life story" or a "talk" about your previous experiences is not smart. I have interviewed multiple times with them, once it was a 5 minute talk about your life and that's that, the second time it was about 45 minutes. Never had any technical questions, or any discussion related to the job at hand.They won't have a clue about your resume when they talk to you. Why? "To make it more organic." Give me a break.
The interview was intense and definitely exceeded my expectations. The technical rounds were particularly challenging, but I felt prepared. One of the system design questions was about creating a webhook delivery system with various complexities, and I was relieved because I had explored that exact topic on PracHub just days before. After tackling some coding problems, I faced some behavioral questions that tested my thought process. Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.

Pregunta 1
Design a webhook delivery system that retries on failure with exponential backoff. Cover idempotency, ordering guarantees, dead-letter queues, and how you'd handle a downstream consumer that's been offline for hours.

Walk through a past technical project you worked on or owned.
Interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.

The first 2 interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from leetcode, but if you know your data structures you'll be good. 3rd interview I had to prep a design document and share it and they asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind it.
