I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Databricks (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2025
Interview
1 hr round, 1 technical screen, 4 back-to-back interview with 2 rounds of leetcode, 1 round of system design and 1 round of behavioural, the questions are hard and optimal solutions are expected
The interview process consisted of four interviews conducted over two days, including system design, algorithms, coding, and a cross-functional round. The overall process was challenging, with difficult technical questions that required strong problem-solving skills, clear communication, and deep understanding of concepts.

Question 1
The algorithm interview included a LeetCode Hard–level problem.
Recruiter was super nice and so was my technical interviewer. I got asked to solve a leetcode med-hard problem involving file systems, and unfortunately wasn’t able to crack it. It was probably one of the harder technicals I’ve had, but the interviewer was nice and I had a good experience.

Question 1
Comparable to a leetcode med-hard question, but nothing like it is on leetcode from what I’ve searched after.
