The interview process consisted of an L1 technical discussion with senior developers from the organization. The session was structured to establish a baseline assessment of my professional background, hands-on experience, and practical exposure to real-world engineering challenges. The discussion began with an overview of my current role and responsibilities, followed by a deep dive into the projects I have delivered end-to-end. Particular emphasis was placed on my experience with payment gateway integration, especially my hands-on work with Razorpay, where I explained the integration flow, security considerations, webhook handling, and real-world production challenges. Additionally, the panel explored my involvement in CI/CD pipelines, focusing on how I have automated build, test, and deployment workflows. I walked through my practical exposure to streamlining deployments, reducing manual intervention, and improving release reliability across environments. Overall, the discussion was technical, experience-driven, and aligned toward validating practical execution capability rather than theoretical knowledge. The interaction was collaborative, direct, and outcome-focused, reflecting the company’s emphasis on real-world engineering maturity and ownership.
