interview process: The process started with an initial screening call with a recruiter, which covered my background, current role, and general interest in the position. This was followed by a technical interview with members of the engineering team. The technical round focused on backend development using .NET, including discussions around API design, asynchronous programming, and handling high-throughput systems. There were also questions on working with messaging systems (such as RabbitMQ), database interactions, and general system design concepts. In addition to technical topics, there was a focus on real-world experience. I was asked to explain projects I had worked on, particularly around performance improvements and handling large volumes of data. The interviewers were interested in understanding how I approach problem-solving, debugging, and writing maintainable code. There were also behavioural questions around teamwork, communication, and how I handle production issues or tight deadlines.
