Interview formats differ by company and team, so confirm the rounds with the recruiter. Most hiring loops for roles like this cover:
A recruiter call or an online test. Read the job description twice and be ready to explain how your experience matches it.
Often coding problems on arrays, strings, trees, graphs or dynamic programming, solved while you explain your thinking.
Often design and trade-off questions sized to the role: an API, a component, or a small system.
Answer with the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Prepare two or three real stories: a hard problem you solved, a disagreement you handled, and something you learned quickly.
