I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Coinbase (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Highly impressed by the progressive CodeSignal format. Despite scoring 540/600, the evolving feature additions tested my architecture skills. Though rejected, the experience was a valuable challenge for staff-level system design.

Question 1
Online assessment via CodeSignal. Standard 4 level question.
There was a personality test, then an iq test, then an Ai coding interview, then two leetcode problems, one behavior interview, and one system design asking to design one of coinbases websites
First there was a phone screen. Then received emails for a work style assessment, and a coding test. They sent a rejection within a few days, before the 7 day time frame they had given me to complete the test.
