Delivery Hero Software Engineer interview: backend-heavy technical rounds

The process began with an HR screen, moved through technical interviews, and ended with a hiring-manager discussion. I was not offered the role.

The technical rounds were the hardest part. They covered Python fundamentals, backend development, system design, APIs, databases, concurrency, and general problem solving. The questions were practical and tied to engineering scenarios rather than staying theoretical. The structure seemed well planned, but it was technically demanding and the final result did not go my way.

Location: Indien. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
