I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SoftServe (Lviv) in July 2022
Interview
The interview process included meetings with an architect and a team lead. The questions were mostly technical and related to the role and experience. There was no live coding, and the discussion was focused on problem-solving and technical knowledge.
