I applied online. I interviewed at Red Hat (Boston, MA) in Jan 2026
Interview
I had a pretty straightforward round. First with the recruiter and then spoke with the Hiring manager and last was the Panel Interview. The call with the recruiter and hiring manager went great but the panel interview felt unbalanced. After a very brief 15-minute project deep-dive, the remaining 45 minutes were spent on a single, highly theoretical statistics/probability brain-teaser that felt disconnected from the role and job description"
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Red Hat
Interview
Processo lineare, uno screening al telefono, un colloquio con un HR, un colloquio con il CTO o un altro senior, colloquio con il product owner, ma poi mi hanno fermato lì
Initially had the recruiter screening, followed by 2 rounds. One with the Principal Engineer and the other with a Senior Manager. Both went well. Unfortunately, they moved with another candidate.

Interview
Applied on LinkedIn. Contacted by tech lead a few weeks later for an interview. Video call interview (with someone other than the tech lead who contacted me) scheduled to last 30 minutes, ended up lasting about 45 minutes because I was having a good conversation with the interviewer.
