I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stainless Software in Dec 2024
Interview
The process included a few behavioral interview rounds followed by a take home project where you build documentation within a specific domain. It did require intimate familiarity with their product, however. Still, it was pretty chill.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For today’s exercise, we want you to imagine that you’ve been tasked with adding some additional information on API authentication to the existing Stainless docs.
Some pointers:
It’s okay if you don’t know all the answers at the start. This isn’t a test of your REST or API knowledge (though familiarity will certainly help)
We’re testing your ability to write for a technical audience here. Assume that most readers are technical, have familiarity with what APIs are and what purpose they serve.
We’re also testing your ability to combine various sources of information, so please feel free to use external references like developer blogs, web authentication resources, etc. Please do not use any tools that write this for you (ChatGPT, Claude, LLMs).
