I applied for a front end position (with a few years exp.) online and promptly got an email from Confluent's recruiting team. I then set up a ~60 min technical online/phone screen at my convenience with a Confluent engineer. The phone screen is standard JavaScript stuff. I had to implement some commonly seen utility function. The onsite interview was also pretty standard. At a high level, mine consisted of: - 1 general algorithm problem(s) interview - 1 system design interview + some html/css - lunch with a couple team members (not an interview) - 1 front end focused (build a resuable component in native JS or your framework of choice) interview - 1 general interview/discussion with Director of Engineering Overall, I had a very positive impression of Confluent. The Palo Alto office looks pretty new and modern (had a few dogs too!), and the product seems to have plenty of interesting engineering challenges. Unfortunately I had another exciting offer at the time that I went with, but Confluent seems like a cool place to work.
