I applied online. I interviewed at Malwarebytes in Feb 2026
Interview
Si è tenuto tutto in un paio di mesetti, lentamente all'inizio e poi sprint finale con una interview per settimana. Comunicazione eccellente da parte della recruiter che mi ha tenuto perfettamente in linea con quello che stava accadendo e cosa aspettarmi da ogni passaggio. I passaggi sono stati:
- Call conoscitiva con la recruiter interna
- Call con line manager
- Take-home task
- Presentazione del task
- Call con Director of Product
- Call con General Manager
- Reference checks
- Offerta

Question 1
- Why are you leaving your current place

- Task based on a real-life issue in your (future) domain
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Malwarebytes in Apr 2026
Interview
After struggling to receive a slot and having a call cancelled ten minutes before the start I managed to get into the second round. The technical conversation was not much fun, the interviewer seemed quite bored since we started. They seem to put a lot of effort into vibe coding, to the point of expecting developers not to write code at all, just guide the LLMs. I find that strange especially as they work within the cybersecurity field. I wonder if they'd fire the LLM if something broke in the code, or the developer instead.

There was an HR screening, followed by several interviews with cross-functional teammates and, of course, with the hiring manager. I was also asked to share work samples and deliver a mock presentation.
