Netflix's SWE intern interview is structured to feel collaborative, with interviewers positioning themselves as working partners. Technical rounds use real Netflix product scenarios to test whether you can scope and design systems tied to the product. The loop also includes an AI-assisted online assessment that evaluates how effectively you work with AI tools, separate from the standard coding screen.

We explain each stage, what interviewers look for, and how to prepare with example questions, actionable tips, and [software engineer interview resources](https://www.aced.io/courses/software-engineering).

## Netflix SWE intern interview process

The [Netflix SWE intern interview](https://www.aced.io/experiences/netflix-software-engineer-intern-interview-1d0c90) can move through an online assessment, two technical rounds, and a behavioral conversation with a hiring manager:

- **Online assessment:** A two-part CodeSignal screen with a general coding assessment (GCA) and an AI-assisted coding evaluation.
- **Live coding interview:** A 60-minute CodeSignal session with one interviewer and one shadow.
- **System design interview:** A 60-minute session focused on architecting a system for a Netflix product scenario.
- **Hiring manager interview:** A 45-minute behavioral conversation, contingent on a team-matching process after the technical rounds.

Netflix's process depends on the team and hiring cycle. This guide reflects one intern's loop and should be used as a preparation baseline; your process may differ.

## Online assessment

The SWE intern online assessment is a two-part CodeSignal evaluation, with each part running roughly 90 minutes.
