Principal Architect / SDE1 / SDE2 / SDE3 / Tech Lead / Intern

Google's interview process typically consists of an initial online coding test followed by two to three technical rounds focusing on data structures, algorithms, system design, and domain‑specific knowledge such as distributed systems. The difficulty is high, with emphasis on writing clean, optimal code under time pressure. Candidates should practice problem‑solving, mock interviews, and be prepared to discuss past projects in depth. Soft skills and cultural fit are evaluated in the final HR round.

Google is renowned for its innovative work culture that encourages creativity, data‑driven decision making, and a strong emphasis on learning. Employees enjoy generous benefits, flexible work arrangements, and ample opportunities for internal mobility across product areas. The company promotes a balanced lifestyle with wellness programs, on‑site amenities, and a supportive community that values diversity and inclusion.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; minimum 60% aggregate (or CGPA 6.5/10); no active backlogs; graduating batch 2020‑2024; strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and operating systems; passion for Linux kernel or eBPF development.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (platform‑based test of 60‑90 minutes) → Round 2: Technical interview (system design, deep‑dive into kernel/eBPF, coding) → Round 3: HR interview (culture fit, expectations, compensation)

Keploy is an emerging zero‑code API testing platform that automatically generates test cases and data‑mocks from live API traffic. Founded by a team of seasoned engineers, the company aims to simplify the testing lifecycle for developers building micro‑services, serverless functions, and cloud‑native applications. By leveraging eBPF and Linux kernel capabilities, Keploy captures real‑world request‑response cycles, turning them into reusable, version‑controlled test suites without any manual scripting. The startup has quickly gained traction among DevOps teams for its ability to improve test coverage, reduce flakiness, and accelerate release cycles. The role at Keploy is a multi‑level opportunity, ranging from Intern to Principal Architect, designed for candidates who are passionate about building high‑performance backend systems and shaping open‑source ecosystems. As a Principal Architect, you will define the long‑term technical vision, design scalable architectures, and mentor engineering teams. As an SDE1‑SDE3 or Tech Lead, you will translate that vision into production‑ready code, work on performance‑critical components, and collaborate closely with product and QA teams. Interns will get hands‑on exposure to kernel‑level programming, eBPF tracing, and the full stack of Keploy's platform, contributing to real customer projects under senior guidance. Key responsibilities include: 1. Designing and implementing core backend services that handle high‑throughput API traffic. 2. Developing eBPF probes and Linux kernel modules for low‑overhead request capture. 3. Building and maintaining automated testing pipelines and CI/CD integrations. 4. Contributing to open‑source repositories, reviewing community pull requests, and fostering developer adoption. 5. Collaborating with product managers to translate feature requirements into technical specifications. 6. Conducting performance profiling, bottleneck analysis, and optimization of critical paths. 7. Writing clean, testable, and well‑documented code following OOP and SOLID principles. 8. Mentoring junior engineers and conducting code reviews. 9. Ensuring security best practices and compliance with data privacy standards. 10. Participating in on‑call rotations and incident response for production services. The tech stack revolves around Go, Rust, and C for low‑level components, with Kubernetes for orchestration, PostgreSQL/MySQL for persistence, and gRPC/REST for service communication. Familiarity with Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, and Terraform is advantageous. The company encourages continuous learning; engineers regularly attend conferences, contribute to standards bodies, and experiment with emerging technologies like WebAssembly and serverless frameworks. Growth at Keploy is merit‑driven. Interns can transition to full‑time SDE roles, SDEs can progress to Tech Lead or SDE3, and high‑performing architects can evolve into Principal Architect or VP of Engineering. The organization values ownership, innovation, and a collaborative culture where ideas are judged on impact rather than seniority. Why join Keploy? You will work on cutting‑edge observability and testing infrastructure that directly influences the reliability of modern cloud applications. The startup environment offers rapid responsibility, direct access to founders, and the chance to see your contributions ship to thousands of developers worldwide. If you thrive on solving complex systems problems, love open‑source, and want to shape the future of API testing, Keploy provides the platform to accelerate your career.
