I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jaxel (San Francisco, CA) in June 2025
Interview
There was an online technical interview on Google Meet.
For me, it started with two simple tasks:
- Prepare a SQL query and
- Provide 3 variants of reversing a string in Python.
The SQL question was well-defined in the Google Meet chat. For the Python check, it was suggested to find an online interpreter and share the screen. My interview was interrupted on a couple of the first questions.

Interview
The interview was conducted by a panel of five engineers, each focusing on a specific set of questions. They covered topics like the purpose and introduction of streams in Java, the advantages of using Spring Boot over vanilla Spring, and which microservice patterns I would apply in particular situations. The interview lasted about an hour, and I had the opportunity to ask questions about the role and responsibilities.
