Round 1 (Technical - Coding Focus):
Golang + Kubernetes screening with 2 coding questions: reverse a string while keeping words in order (e.g., "hello world" - "world hello"), and a Go channels concurrency program (producer-consumer style). Also basic Docker/Linux commands. Fair, aligned with the role's tech stack—about 1 hour.

Round 2 (Deep Dive + Behavioral):
More Golang/K8s, challenges in the job role, problem-solving approach, Git questions (e.g., rebase vs merge), and my projects (REST APIs, gRPC, Kafka). Interviewer probed real-world usage well. Felt collaborative, not tricky.

Round 3 (Manager + HR):
Manager round on fit/culture, followed by HR on logistics/compensation. Standard but positive—asked good questions about team challenges.
