      Sr Data Engineer Interview

      6 Jan 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BNSF Railway in Dec 2025

      Interview

      Multi-round process with system design, SQL, PySpark, and a deep technical discussion with leadership. The interviews were much challenging and focused heavily on real-world trade-offs, especially around data architecture and streaming concepts. Overall a fair process, though the timeline was extended due to holidays.
