The interview process typically begins with an initial recruiter screening to discuss my background, interests, and alignment with the role. This is followed by one or more technical interviews focusing on core Java, distributed systems, and cloud architecture. These interviews may involve problem-solving exercises, system design discussions, and coding tasks. In later rounds, I expect to collaborate with engineering leads or cross-functional team members to evaluate design decisions, scalability, and debugging approaches. The final stage often includes a culture fit or leadership discussion to assess collaboration style, communication, and alignment with the company’s mission and values.
