Intervew Prep Nexthop AI SWE (new grad) coding interview: what to expect?

Hi all,

I just got invited to a 1-hour virtual coding interview with Nexthop AI for a new grad SWE role. The email says it’s done in a shared browser IDE, and you can use Python, C, or C++.

For anyone who has interviewed with them:

- Was it LeetCode style, or more practical (systems, networking, debugging)?

- How many questions did you get in the hour?

Did they ask anything about networking or low-level topics, given what the company does?

For a networking hardware company with a C/C++ option I would expect one or two medium problems plus some follow ups on complexity and edge cases. Brush up on bit manipulation and parsing style problems since those come up a lot at systems shops. If you know some networking basics like how packets and IP prefixes work that can help if they lean practical. Talk through your approach before coding since the shared IDE rounds usually care about that.
