Salesforce Senior+ Software Engineer Interview Experience — VP Chat, Four Rounds, Then Team Matching

Cross Cloud org.

Round 1 was a chat with a VP.

Round 2 was an OA; one of the questions was problem 443.

Round 3 was two VOs, one coding and one system design. The coding was problem 460. The system design was to design a coffee shop order system.

Round 4 was the onsite, same as above. The coding question was the same as the one in another thread on this forum — maybe a bit more complex, because you needed to use a stack to print out all the parent keys (for example, if a's value is a map with b as one of the keys, both a and b need to show up in the output for b's value). The follow-up was: what if the value contains a list? The system design question was to design a URL-shortening service.

For all the code, a dry run was enough. I feel like for the onsite you need to practice whiteboard writing — I hadn't written by hand in a long time, and I feel like my handwriting looked pretty rough.

I interviewed on a Wednesday and got notified this past Monday that team matching is starting. Does anyone know how long team matching usually takes these days? Thanks.

Supplementary note (2026-09-16): except for the last round, every round had about 20 minutes of behavioral questions.
