Interview
One ~45 minute interview that was virtual. There was a small interview panel that asked 5-7 very technical questions pertaining to the position I applied for. They asked for my references via email after the interview. I heard back with an unofficial offer roughly 4 weeks after the interview, with an official offer a few weeks after that.
