This was for a general backend SDE position.
Round 1: I was asked to design a coffee management system. It felt like the interviewer wasn't very experienced, as he didn't care much about design details and kept asking about SQL query related questions.
Round 2: I was asked LeetCode 268. It was an easy round, thankfully!
I interviewed on a Thursday and was notified the following Monday that I passed and would be invited for an onsite interview. They also mentioned that after the onsite, there would be a team match round.
