I applied through Indeed. The process took 1 month. I interviewed at Kraken (UK) in Feb 2025
Interview
1st stage: Had a chat with a wonderful recruiter, set the stage for the whole interview process. Discussions about the company structure, team I would be working it, salary expectations and general question regarding motivation for joining the team.
2nd stage: Take home test. A django command line app for parsing file(s). Here, they evaluate you on taking on an ambiguous task and providing a scalable solution. Document your assumptions properly.
3rd stage: Further technical discussion about the task. Discussing approach, decisions taken and tradeoffs. How can the app be extended.
4th stage: The final stage. Focuses on your technical skills and the wider Python/Django ecosystem—discussions around ways of working.
After the last interview, the offer came within 30 minutes.
I really enjoyed working with my recruiter (Brad). He was super supportive.
