Applied through the company’s career site.
Had a 15-minute call with HR to discuss the role, work culture, and interview process.

Round 1 (45 mins) – Hiring Manager Round

1. Questions about my experience, previous projects, and technical details.
2. A few behavioral questions to understand my mindset.
3. Design a log aggregator – only the approach was discussed, no deep dive.

Round 2 (45 mins) – Technical Discussion & Coding

• Questions around AWS Cloud and JVM application performance tuning.
• Received a HackerRank live coding link with 1 question (LeetCode medium-level, related to Strings & Hashing).

Round 3 (45 mins) – Coding Test

• HackerRank live coding with 2 questions (LeetCode easy and medium-level).

Round 4 (45 mins) – Infra & Cloud

• Questions around Terraform, AWS, IAM policies, and security best practices.

Unfortunately, I didn’t clear Round 4.
