Started with a positive HR interview where expectations and background were well aligned. This was followed by a technical interview with the tech leads, including a medium-difficulty technical challenge and an infrastructure design discussion. I then had another interview with the Co-Founder & CTO and the Technical Product Lead, which also went well. Afterward, I was informed that the next step would be meeting the team the following week. However, shortly before that stage, I was notified that they decided to move forward with another candidate whose background more closely matched their experience requirements.
