I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Phaidra in Oct 2023
Interview
1) Phone Screen 2) Tech lead manager - Typical questions about background and ask technical questions on certain topics 3) Coding interview - Typical DSA but really need to know the more advance ones and get correct code down fast - The less experienced engineer who interviewed me gave me optimization answers that were not correct and managed the interview time poorly and was not able to realize I gave clever solutions that were even more optimized than the answers that he was reading off of along with giving clear ideas of how I arrived to my solutions and optimizations, and refactoring of code to be cleaner. 4) System Design / SRE [Didn't make] 5) Meet Cofounders [Didn't make] - Culture fit 6) Offer Interviews for me had to be conducted at 12 AM since I was being interviewed with folks from India.

A recruiter call is initially followed by a hiring manager interview. After that are the Coding and system design rounds. If you get through this you will have a culture fit interview as the final round and then you get an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2 leet code medium-hard, Design a real-time monitoring system
Applied online.
Weeks went pass without a response.
Then I received an email from a recruiter stating if I was still interested in the opportunity in which I responded yes.
1 week later I received a email stating they are closing my application because they did not hear back from me.
Very strange process.
