      Software Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SourceWhale in Feb 2026

      Interview

      I applied through a recruiter and had an interview scheduled within a week with the CTO, VP of Engineering, and a Senior Engineer. The process was a single 90 minute session split into three parts. •Part 1: Introductions and a discussion of my background, including questions about my experience working in a start-up environment as it scaled. •Part 2: A live coding exercise based on a verbally described scenario. •Part 3: A short conversation about a system design problem, based on a slide deck I submitted beforehand. Overall, the experience was positive. The interviewers were friendly, engaged, and open to discussion and a short break between each stage was offered however I chose to continue. I did struggle with the live coding portion because I haven’t been writing code daily for a few years, but the team encouraged conversation throughout and I never felt pressured or judged. I also want to mention something that may help others: I have auditory processing issues related to autism spectrum disorder and rely heavily on lip reading. During the live coding section, I was screen sharing, so I couldn’t see the interviewers’ faces and had to rely solely on the audio description of the problem. That definitely affected my performance, and I hadn’t made the recruiter aware of this beforehand. If you have similar needs, it may be worth flagging them early so the team can accommodate you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Talk about my experience of previously working at an early stage start-up and how I was impacted by rapid scaling up.
