I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Quantexa in Apr 2024
Interview
Phone screening, 1:1 with a team member, coding homework and presentation to the head of department and one of the senior architects.
1:1 was about skills and experience.
Coding was a set of tasks to process simple datasets using Scala and Apache Spark.
And in the end I had to present one of my previous projects, explain the idea, architecture, challenges and decisions made.
Last two I found challenging enough, but not extremely hard

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Quantexa (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
There were 4 rounds to my interview process: a screening call with the recruiter (Liam), an interview with a Solutions Architect (Martin), a Technical Coding Assignment (made up of three questions) and finally a 2 hour case study and Q/A session with the Solutions Architecture Lead (Chris) and a Senior Solutions Architect (Iestyn).
Throughout the process Liam was my main point of contact, he was very helpful and kept me fully informed throughout the process.
Overall a positive experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at Quantexa (London, England) in Aug 2023
Interview
Very detailed, 3 interviews (recruiter, first tech interview, final technical interview with Hiring Manager and another Solution Architect. From the 2nd to 3rd interview there was a tech assignment with flexibility to use Python and other tools, so I used ChatGPT as well! The preferred language is Scala, which I hadn't used before, but again, very flexible.
