I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Whatnot (New York, NY) in Aug 2025
Interview
Recruiter call followed by a hiring manager interview, and then a technical round consisting of multiple back-to-back rounds, including coding proficiency (Python and SQL), metric evaluation, and a product understanding case study. The process was very quick, and they did not waste time between rounds, but turns out they were hiring for a senior role, and I was not a match. Interesting how they realised that 5 rounds into the process.
