Hiring process

Technical interview

In short

A technical interview is a hiring stage that tests your job-specific skills directly — for example coding a solution, reviewing a design, or solving a domain problem live.

Unlike a behavioral interview about your experience, a technical interview evaluates whether you can do the work. Formats include live coding, system design discussions, take-home assignments, or case studies. Interviewers usually care as much about how you reason out loud as about the final answer.
