Their background

I’ve recently joined Celigo as a Software Engineer-2, and I wanted to share my experience of the interview process. It all started when I saw an opening on LinkedIn and decided to send a cold email to a few engineering managers. To my surprise, I got a response just a few days later.

I used Draw.io to walk through the system, explaining how the components communicate, why we use specific tools, and how the system scales. It turned into a deep, engaging conversation about how we might extend the system to support new features.
