Spotify Interview for Security Eng

Anyone here got some tips for Spotify interview process? I am applying for Security Engineer role and will have the first round with hiring manager this week. Guess that one will be more general. But not sure about the technical ones, I'm assuming it'd be security focus and not LC based? First time applying in security roles. Thanks!

Hmm maybe ask your recruiter? For SWE onsite you can find examples on LC, typical behavioral + sys design + coding (medium) + sys debug/troubleshooting. Probably will have at least some of those. Personally has a code screen, then onsite, then team match/HM calls

How long was the onsite interview for you? I was told that final round would be 4-5 hours (with technical) But yeah recruiter didnt help much 😮‍💨 Was just "first round will be with hiring manager, second round will be technical but fundamentals and last round will be technical again" When I asked again recruiter only said "likely coding" Perhaps I can ask this to the hiring manager soon 😮‍💨

typical 4 hrs loop My recruiter had a prep call for the onsite after I passed screens, but sounds like yours is quite different… good luck regardless!
