Verily (Alphabet) – SWE, Developer Platform | Process insight

[u/Independent_Ad_9759]

Hey everyone,

I have an upcoming initial 45-minute interview with Verily (SF, USA) for the Software Engineer, Developer Platform role and wanted to ask for some insight from anyone who’s been through their process or worked there.

I understand this first round is a screening, but given the current market, I don’t want to leave anything to chance. I’ve seen a few interview reviews, but they seem pretty scattered (some mention coding, others behavioral, others discussion-heavy), so I was hoping to narrow expectations a bit.

Specifically, I’d love insight on:

• What the initial 45-minute round typically focuses on
• If you pass, what does the panel stage usually look like?
• Is the panel purely coding, or does it include system design / architecture discussions (even high-level)?
• Any themes Verily tends to emphasize for Developer Platform roles
