- 30 min technical screen High level discussion about python and engineering basics - 1 hr coding exercise easiest coding problem I've done, almost thought it was a joke tbh. First was, create a class that calculates the moving average of a list of numbers Second was, basic SQL statement Third was, something about modifying the words in the string to remove "ing" "ed" "ly" at end of some words - 1 hr deep technical discussion Pretty straightforward architectural design call with two of the engineers. If you know what a microservice you'll do fine lmao. - 30 min call with senior director just a cultural type interview call seeing who I am and why I wanted to work there. not great vibes with this guy tbh

Do you enjoy learning new things (WCF is very nimble and very fast-paced as an organization)? For example, we're working on transitioning some backend software to Golang and Node, moving some frontend software from Angular7 to React, and continuing to take advantage of stack components that serve us in the best possible fashion. How would you work in that kind of fast-paced environment?
