Entrevista
After the recruiter screening, I was invited to a second-round interview at Spotify — a 75-minute session with two interviewers. Both were very supportive, polite, and helped create a comfortable and easy-going atmosphere.
The first part of the conversation was introductory, followed by several theoretical questions, including:
What is eventual consistency?
Explain the CAP Theorem.
Discuss the data formats you have worked with (e.g., Avro, Parquet) and the differences between them.
What is the difference between Python and low-level programming languages?
What are the benefits of using the Iceberg table format?
How would you explain MapReduce?
What is the time complexity of searching for an element in a linked list?
Explain a type of tree structure.
One live algorithmic coding exercise: create a Fibonacci sequence. I eventually solved it, although it took me longer than expected due to limited experience with coding interview-style algorithm questions.

Received an offer for an interview with a recruiter around early March, it was 20 minutes and the recruiter was very sweet! I was asked about my background, she asked me to elaborate on specific experiences on my resume, challenges I encountered, what technical frameworks I used, the standard questions. It was very straightforward and I received the offer later that day for the final round interview consisting of a 45 min behavorial interview and a 45 min technical interview.
