Software Development Engineer I (SDE I) – Backend Engineer

Round 1: Online coding test (DSA & basic programming) → Round 2: Technical interview (system design, OOP concepts, language specifics) → Round 3: HR interview (cultural fit, motivations, salary discussion)

Hevo promotes a merit‑based culture where engineers are given ownership of end‑to‑end features and encouraged to experiment. The company offers flexible working hours, regular knowledge‑sharing sessions, and a supportive environment that balances high performance with personal well‑being.

Hevo's interview process typically starts with a timed online coding test focusing on arrays, strings, and basic algorithms. Successful candidates move to a technical interview where they discuss OOP concepts, design patterns, and may be asked to write simple API code. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, communication skills, and expectations. Preparation should include solving medium‑level DSA problems and revisiting core language fundamentals.
