      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      24 June 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Lyric in June 2026

      Interview

      The interview process was facilitated by a third-party agency and centered on a live coding challenge. I had anticipated a comprehensive system design discussion to evaluate high-level architectural reasoning and engineering strategy, which is the standard expectation for a role at this level. Instead, the technical evaluation focused entirely on this coding exercise.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given an array of valid words and a string representing a scrambled note, find the first word from the array that can be completely formed using the characters available in the note. Each letter in the note can only be used once, and the matching should be case-insensitive and independent of order. If no word from the list can be formed, return a hyphen string ("-").
