This will likely be a mix of frontend and backend and should last 45-60 minutes. Technical Discussion. This is a 45-60 minute discussion about your technical knowledge including past work experience, knowledge of techniques and best practices. There will be an emphasis on being able to talk the justification to certain approaches and in some cases a discussion on how you might want to improve things that you have worked on in the past. There will be time for you to ask questions about our technical approach and environment. Culture Interview.
