This interview consisted of a few rounds. The first was a call with their recruiter, the second was a take home problem, and the last was an interview with their manager and PI.
The take home problem was to design an API that conforms to a swagger spec that they give you. You also need to create an API client and then an example application that uses the client to solve the problem.
All in all, it was three separate projects which was a heavy lift. The recruiter got back to me and told me that they didn't like my response about disliking legacy code (they apparently have lots).
I asked for $155,000 and they were happy to pay that.

Single Round Behavioral walking through my resume. Asked a few technical questions regarding concepts listed in the job description. No technical coding round. Overall was an easy and painless experience.
The interview was very "chill" and straightforward and I was pleased with the professionalism. There were about two to three rounds. I would highly recommend to be yourself during the process.
