Applied online for a remote Software Engineer position. First had a quick recruiter phone call. Had a video chat coding exercise with an engineer. The exercise involved coding a simple statsd log parser to retrieve tags from the log lines. The interviewer left some time for questions and discussion about the team and the position. Then had a video chat interview with the manager for the team. Discussed my experience and the position and team. Following this was a take-home coding exercise to write a program that monitors a log file and performs parsing and aggregation of data and then displays summary of data and performs notifications based on metrics requirements, for example if errors are above a threshold and similar. This was a fun exercise. After this got invited for a day of on-site interviews in NYC. Datadog arranged and paid for the travel. On-site visit consisted of: - A different manager interview, where we talked about my experience and discussed the team. Also had to describe an architecture of a system I worked on and in detail elaborate on my contributions. - Following this was a lunch with a couple of other engineers on the team at the office cafeteria. It was very nice to meet other people and just have some relaxing, social "off-time" in-between the interviews. - Coding exercise interview again. Coincidentally this was the same problem I already did on a video call earlier in the process. - System Design interview where I had to design and architect a YouTube-like application. - Interview with VP of Engineering where we discussed my experience, the team, what I want to do, Datadog, etc... He was very open and available for any questions and any kind of discussion. - Wrap up with the recruiter. In the end they said I would probably get an offer if I was to relocate to NYC to work there, but a they weren't 100% sold on my for a remote for this specific position. Throughout the interview numerous time the recruiter asked for feedback on the process and offered time for updates and check-ins and to answer any questions. Overall a positive experience.
