  • Twitch Software Engineer interview with a CodeSignal design and debugging assessmentTwitch · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Apr 2026

    I applied to Twitch for a Software Engineer role, completed an assessment focused on design and debugging tasks, and then didn't move forward. The OA was a CodeSignal-style assessment with a system-design-and-coding prompt split into two parts. First, I had to implement classes and functions. Then I had to debug a helper class. I didn't hear back after the assessment. My takeaway was that the "de…

  • Twitch Software Engineer interview with an unexpected behavioral callTwitch · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Apr 2026
    Rejected

    I went through Twitch's early pipeline for a Software Engineer role, starting with a Codesignal pre-screen to earn an invitation. The behavioral intro call caught me off guard, and I didn't progress. The Codesignal pre-screen was a coding assessment. The intro and recruiter call focused on behavioral questions I hadn't expected, and I felt that my answers weren't strong. I didn't advance. My take…

  • Twitch Software Engineer interview with a two-hour assessmentTwitch · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Mar 2026
    No response

    I interviewed for a Software Engineer role at Twitch and went through an unusually long assessment. I never received clear follow-up afterward. The process began with a recruiter conversation. The online assessment was a single extended technical assessment that lasted about two hours. I wished I could see my scores, but I never received them. I didn't hear back, and the experience left me thinki…

  • Twitch Software Engineer interview: OOP assessment and no offerTwitch · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Feb 2026

    I interviewed for a Software Engineer role at Twitch. The process felt fairly standard: a recruiter screen followed by an assessment focused on object-oriented programming. The recruiter screen covered my resume and previous work. The technical assessment involved an OOP coding question. I wasn't offered the role. My main takeaway was to be ready to code directly around object-oriented fundamenta…

  • A SQL Screen Where Every Question Got Follow-Up After Follow-UpTwitch · Data Scientist · Technical Screen · Oct 2025

    Just finished my SQL interview, written on CodePad. It was pretty similar to a question set from the forum, but the interviewer kept hammering me with variant follow-ups on every single question... my brain was practically on fire. Every row in this table represents one minute, recording what a streamer was doing during that minute: Q1: total monthly hours streamed for each month, in order by mon…

  • First-Ever Interview, Four-Round Onsite, No OfferTwitch · Software Engineer · Onsite · Oct 2025
    Rejected

    Full interview timeline: 9/28 — Mass-applied. 11/3 — Received an OA invite and an HR reach-out. 11/14 — HR phone screen, asked about my basic background and some BQ. 11/24 — Tech round. They gave a rock-paper-scissors game design question with two follow-ups — you got extra credit for handling win streaks and for breaking ties. Someone on this forum had shared this one before. Then some BQ, diggi…

  • SQL Screen on the Classic Streaming and Viewing TablesTwitch · Data Scientist · Intern · Technical Screen · Oct 2025
    In progress

    I did a mass application to Twitch's Graduate DS intern program. About two weeks later I got an HR phone screen — they asked why this company and three or four traditional behavioral questions, about 30 minutes total. A week after that came the technical round: 4-5 SQL questions, all built around two tables related to streaming and viewing. The questions were slightly different from ones already…

  • Twitch Backend Engineer interview with AWS system design promptsTwitch · Backend Engineer · Online Assessment · Oct 2025

    I interviewed at Twitch for a Software Engineer role. The process felt challenging and deliberate over roughly a few weeks, with a testing approach that was more distinctive and less focused on standard LeetCode problems. It started with a timed coding assignment. After that, I had a recruiter phone call, followed by a hiring manager discussion as the second phase. The technical testing used ques…

  • Twitch Software Engineer interview with a 45-minute hiring manager technical roundTwitch · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Sep 2025

    I interviewed for a Software Engineer role at Twitch. The process followed a typical assessment, then hiring manager flow: recruiter outreach, a CodeSignal assessment, and a short technical interview. The recruiter explained the role and contacted me to start the process. I completed the CodeSignal assessment, waited a few days, and then had a 45-minute technical interview with the hiring manager…
