I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Luxoft (Toronto, ON) in May 2026
Interview
The interview was for a contract role opportunity. It consisted of 3 rounds, one technical screening (45 mins), one managerial (30 mins) and one client round onsite (45 mins). Questions were based on Java, Python, SQL, Design Patterns, Microservices, AWS and one coding question. I cleared all the rounds but didn't get selected because of tough competition between me and the other candidate. The screening interviewer was quite friendly and tried to greet me in my language. The interviewers for client round were also friendly throughout the process and also dropped me back to the elevator area.

Third round was client round onsite. There were two interviewers who took me to the conference room. One guy told me to write code in SQL to find duplicates in a table and then write the same code in Java, then he asked me if I worked with microservices before and I said yes. The other guy asked me what was my project about, how I implemented security in it, what was the code coverage, did I work for production level issues.

Interview
An easy coding exercise at the beginning followed by a bunch of mostly theoretical questions from the programming language, frameworks, databases, concepts like microservices.
Unfortunately the interviewer was from another project and couldn't answer my questions about the role.
