Our C# Hiring Philosophy

We’re looking for engineers with strong core concepts who can apply object-oriented and cloud-native principles across languages and systems.

You will build software with security in mind from the start—thinking proactively about protecting code and infrastructure. You’ll focus on simple, effective solutions, avoiding unnecessary complexity while designing for scalability and performance.

You’ll work on real engineering challenges such as distributed systems, API design, and system reliability. We’re looking for people who are curious, humble, collaborative, and willing to share knowledge, take initiative, and solve problems together.

We consider candidates at Junior, Middle, Experienced, and Senior levels. Your role and grade will be determined based on your performance in our technical interview process and the strengths you demonstrate.

Interview Rounds

Quick note: the interview length and order can vary slightly depending on the location of the hiring process, but you’ll always know what to expect at each step.

Focus: Demonstrate your foundational skills with 9 multiple-choice questions (2–5 minutes each) and 4 coding tasks (10–15 minutes each). Time is limited for the entire test, but you can revisit and update your answers. Concentrate on language knowledge, data structures and algorithms, reliability, and problem-solving—show how you apply these skills in practical scenarios.

Focus: This stage is about getting to know you better - no technical questions - just a conversation to understand your background, motivations, career interests, and preferences.

Focus: Apply your .NET and C# expertise to real-world technical challenges, covering topics such as .NET internals, memory management, garbage collection, async programming, and thread synchronization. We’re interested in how you explain your reasoning and propose solutions—even if you’re unfamiliar with a specific built-in method.

You’ll also demonstrate your understanding of data structures, algorithms, and core software design principles. The interview takes place on CoderPad, where you’ll tackle technical problems live.

We’re looking not just for correct answers, but for clear communication, collaboration, and insight into your thought process. Feel free to ask clarifying questions or discuss alternative solutions—the goal is to see your practical approach to problem-solving, not perfection.

How to Prepare:

Introduce Yourself: Prepare a brief summary of your background and experience. Be ready to share why you’re open to new opportunities and what you’re looking for in your next role.
Discuss Technical Challenges: Reflect on the most technically challenging problems you’ve faced in the last three years. Be prepared to explain the situation, its impact, and your solution.
Review Core Topics: Refresh your knowledge of C#, .NET (architecture, memory management, garbage collection), algorithms, data structures, concurrency, async, and multithreaded programming.
Put Your Development Principles into Practice: Be ready to discuss key principles such as SOLID, design patterns, and best practices.
Explain Your Reasoning: Practice clearly articulating your thought process and solutions, both in code and discussion.
Ask for Clarity: Feel free to ask your interviewer to repeat or clarify questions. Clear communication is important, and your comfort matters to us.

Final Takeaway

This is a two-way conversation: it’s your opportunity to see if this role helps you power forward in your career. Your recruiter is here to support you every step of the way and will follow up with next steps—whether that’s an offer or useful insights.
