I applied online. I interviewed at Easygo (Melbourne) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview process consisted of two stages. The first interview with the recruiter/hiring manager was well organised, conversational, and focused on my technical background and previous experience. It left a positive impression.
The second stage was a live coding interview where I was asked to solve an algorithmic problem while explaining my thought process. There were some communication difficulties during the session, which made parts of the interview harder than expected. We completed the coding exercise with time remaining and spent the rest of the session discussing the company and next steps. Based on the conversation, I believed the interview had gone well. However, I later received a rejection and was informed that no interview feedback could be provided, which was disappointing because it left me without any understanding of the reasons behind the decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given an array representing the odds of a betting event over time. Write an efficient function that returns the maximum profit that could be achieved by placing a single bet and cashing out later. The bet must be placed before cashing out, at least one minute must pass between the two actions, and profit is calculated as the difference between the cash-out odds and the betting odds. For example, given [2.0, 2.5, 1.8, 3.2, 3.8, 2.7], the expected result is 2.0 by betting at 1.8 and cashing out at 3.8.

Overall, the experience was good. I was well prepared for the final round, but I don't think I communicated my examples as effectively as I could have. Aside from that, I think the interview went well overall.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Easygo (Melbourne) in Jul 2025
Interview
First there were coding and system design interviews on video chat. These were fairly straightforward as far as any larger tech company goes; you will likely get some details from your recruiter but I'd recommend being able to describe how to implement some of the basic functions on a streaming site (Kick) or a betting site (Stake) for your focus (frontend/backend).
The more opaque part of the process was during the 3 onsite interviews, when different people will ask you to tell them stories about things you've done in your career. I was able to answer all their questions and received positive responses during the interviews. One interviewer said they currently have "unlimited hiring capacity for engineers". After, I got feedback that I was a "great cultural fit" but wasn't getting an offer. I also heard that other candidates have had similar bad luck with this particular company. I have an idea that they wanted to hear more stories about working on things at large scale, but ultimately it was unclear to me exactly what they expected, so if you're going to interview with them I'd be prepared to talk about scale.
A red flag to note is that I was interviewed by a very senior engineering manager at the company and in response to one of his questions, I described a time when I optimised some code that was running at O(n^2) to run at O(n) efficiency by implementing a different data structure. He said he didn't know what big O notation was, which I found a little strange.
