I recently completed the full interview process for a Software Engineer role at Intuit. Although I didn’t receive an offer this time as the hiring cycle closed, the experience was incredibly valuable. Here’s a breakdown of the process: 🔹 Coding Challenge - DP-based DSA problem - SQL query - Basic Bash file operations 🔹 Recruiter Round - Discussed how I use AI tools in development - Walked through my project end-to-end - Prompting strategies for adding new features 🔹 Build Challenge (2–4 hours) - Built 2 assignments using AI-assisted development - Focus on speed + correctness + clean repo submission 🔹 Technical Screen - Deep dive into my solution - Trade-offs, optimizations, caching (Redis) - System-level thinking and cost considerations (RAG, infra) 🔹 Final Round - Presentation-style discussion on approach and decisions 💡 Key takeaways: - Communication and clarity matter as much as coding - Understanding trade-offs is critical at every stage - Knowing how to effectively use AI in development is now a core skill I’m actively looking for Software Engineer roles and would love to connect with teams building impactful products. If you’re hiring or know someone who is, I’d really appreciate a referral. #OpenToWork #SoftwareEngineering #InterviewExperience #Learning
