Fullstack Intern

Round 1: Online coding test (DSA & basic algorithms) → Round 2: Technical interview (backend & frontend concepts, system design) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, motivation and internship logistics)

Alaan promotes a fast‑moving yet collaborative culture where engineers are encouraged to experiment and own their work. The hybrid model balances remote flexibility with in‑office brainstorming sessions, offering ample work‑life balance and clear growth pathways.

Alaan’s interview process typically starts with a timed coding test focusing on arrays, strings and basic algorithms. Successful candidates move to a technical interview where they discuss Node.js concepts, API design, and may be asked to solve a live coding problem. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, motivation and internship logistics. Preparation should include strong fundamentals in JavaScript, REST APIs and SQL, along with clear communication of problem‑solving approach.
