The process began with a conversation with a recruiter. This interview focused on understanding the company's mission, structure, and the various open roles. I also provided a brief overview of my educational background and professional experience. The second step was a technical interview centered around a coding problem. The final stage was a take-home challenge. The goal was to implement an API that computes the shortest path between two points while avoiding obstacles. Algorithms like Dijkstra’s or possibly A* were expected. Beyond algorithmic correctness and performance, the emphasis was on overall code quality. This included: - Writing clean, maintainable code - Implementing appropriate unit tests - Including logging and secure headers - Delivering something close to production-ready
