After recruiter coordination, I had two rounds that felt hard. The first tested AI fluency in a system-design problem where AI use was allowed. I had to decide how the proposed system would connect to an existing system and its data inputs, rather than receiving that integration design up front.
The second round also focused on design, but it did not fit a familiar pattern. It asked for a difficult design that tested my structure and understanding.
I did not receive an offer, but the experience made the bar clear. The AI-enabled framing required more architectural reasoning at the start than I usually expect from a standard system-design interview.
Location: Bengaluru. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
