Zipline Software Engineer interview: project deep dive and technical discussion

My process began with straightforward introductions. The interviewer first walked me through the role description, and we then discussed my resume and portfolio in more detail. From there, the conversation shifted to technical questions. I had enough time to answer them before we returned to company-related questions that came up during the discussion.

Another part of the process focused closely on one of my projects. I had to explain the challenge, walk through the details, and discuss how I approached the work, including the messier parts such as root-cause analysis. The conversation felt more like a discussion than a rapid quiz, and the interviewers stayed engaged with follow-up questions tied directly to my work.
