Fly.io Software Engineer interview questions

I see all the other reviews, I did my test assgnment and got an automated reply (very clear my work wasnt review, it was a standard reply that made no sense). BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR TEST CREDITS. To test them in this very dishonest and dodgy marketing ploy. I sent them a CV with a last date working 15 years ago. And also another blank one from alternate email addresses. Both got the same reply (conveniently they have a well scripted line about not looking at resumes, we’re a bit weird and yadda yadda yadda) Both test applications received the same scripted email, I passed (I DIDNT EVEN DO IT THE 2nd and 3rd times) But guess what? Lucky you! You get to keep their credits. Man these guys are arrogant. Don’t waste your time. No respect for the applicant, just a very arrogant ploy to suck you in. You know what, they’re right. They are very very weird. Just dont waste your time on these job ads. One other thing I noticed, theyve been “interviewing” the same roles for many many months. Further proof.

Had a coding task and a product-related problem that I needed to scope down and solve. I limited my time on the coding task and passed after writing a small amount of code. The coding task is vague, so it's important to quickly figure out what you want to solve, otherwise you will waste time. The product-related problem was very open-ended, which is intentional to reflect the real-world environment, but it felt like the person on the other end wasn't necessarily collaborative. I've had other interviews with a similar approach and they were a lot more enjoyable. It felt like I was battling against instead of working together with someone, so I bowed out.
