Zoom Call. During our Zoom call I'll introduce myself and the company. We'll talk about your previous technical experience and I'll ask for your thoughts on high-level architecture ("How would you build x?")
Coding. You'll write code in Go to interact with Clickhouse. This isnot live-coding: you'll do this at your own pace with any resources you need. We will ask you to make a contribution to ScratchDB's open-source project, just as you would on a day to day basis. Then I'll ask you walk me through your code.
