I applied online. I interviewed at ZipRecruiter in Mar 2026
Interview
Phone screen, technical coding round, system design round, final round with hiring manager. The technical coding round was very easy especially for a senior position, but the recruiter send an automated rejection email immediately after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode easy, asked about optimization and time/mem complexity
First round was a codesignal techincal round. It was a lc style question where they asked about data structures and algorithm. There were several sub problems to the question and had to use recursion and hash maps to solve the questions.
The process looks like this:
Recruiter screen -> 2 engineering screens -> behaviorial -> final offer
Engineering can be pretty tedious, and it's hard to get all the questions right. Several follow-ups, even if you finish coding, ensure you understand how the code scales and possible pitfalls.
