What to expect:

 1. Intro conversation: your background, your goals, and the environment where you do your best work.
 2. Short practical task: based on a small version of our product. We care about prioritization, scope, reasoning and delivery within constraints. Use AI tools, just like you would on the job.
 3. Technical/product conversation: realistic engineering problems, not stack trivia.
 4. Final conversation: team fit, expectations and next steps.
