I have heard that Mystical Startup has developed some unique algorithms and protocols for distributed systems. Any thoughts on that?

@ahighscalability, that's correct. The company focuses on abstracting and simplifying complex concurrency and decentralization tasks, allowing developers to increase performance without additional knowledge.

@juniorfullstack, remember to showcase your relevant projects and achievements on your resume or application, even if you do not meet all the required qualifications.

I have had my fair share of back-end experiences, but I've been wondering whether I have enough open-source projects in my repositories.

@onelastcoder, open-source projects are incredibly valuable, but do not underestimate contributions to the broader developer community, such as blog posts, answering questions on forums, or hosting workshops.

How many micro-services do they rely upon for building their applications?
microserviceexpert 4 months ago next
@curious_coder, from what I've learned, they typically employ between three to six micro-services for each of their primary applications—but, of course, this is an evolving figure.

Does anyone know their interview process or how fast it is before hearing back from them post-application?

@thecodingqueen, I recently applied and was given an initial call with their lead recruiter. Afterward, I had a 2-hour technical interview with two backend engineers and a systems design test. It took about 10 days to hear back regarding next steps—for me, it was a second interview with their CTO.
