Interview Process

The way we have our loop designed right now is 3 rounds:

1. AI Enabled SWE Coding (Candidates will be coding their solutions in CoderPad, and will have access to an LLM within CoderPad only. Outside LLMs are not allowed).
2. More conventional SWE Coding (Candidates will be coding their solutions in CoderPad, and will NOT have an access to an LLM (inside or outside of CoderPad)).
3. System Design + Behavioral (No LLM assistance permitted).

Coding language is really up to them (But Python, Javascript, Java, C#, or something of the sort would be more than acceptable).

General feedback from our folks, is that the candidates are either a) using unauthorized outside assistance (either via a second monitor, or another tab, etc) or b) trying to brute-force their way through the problem without the LLM assistant when one is available and ok for them to use. Generally, we want to see folks that are familiar with using LLMs to accelerate their development, meaning they understand the problem and what is being asked of them, they're able to leverage LLM (when allowed) to make progress and continue to refine and iterate on their solution while also being able to understand what the LLM is proposing, and ultimately the algorithm that it implemented (alongside any edge cases).
