I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brooklyn, MI) in Jun 2025
Interview
It was a one on one person interview where he asked several hypothetical questions after asking me about the projects I have worked on. He was also interested in the project team I was on and ask me about facing challenges and how I overcome them.

Recruiter screens usually hit: time/space complexity of common operations, why O(log n) beats O(n), array vs hash map vs linked list tradeoffs, and Big-O of sorting. Want me to drill you on these?
