I applied through their portal with a cold application, after which a recruiter reached out and asked me to complete an online assessment. Once I completed the assessment, the process was as follows:
Initial Phone Screen: I had a 30 minute conversation with a recruiter, where we discussed my background, experience, and motivation for applying to Zoox.
Technical Interviews:
1st Round: Trivia and Programming: This round focused on basic questions around core computer science concepts and the programming language of my choice (Python).
2nd Round: Backend System Design: This round was centered on backend system design, where I had to design scalable and reliable backend systems.
Final Round: Behavioral questions.
