For a Rokt Software Engineer interview, the clearest reported early sequence is an aptitude assessment followed by a self-recorded behavioral video. Two candidates described the aptitude test first and the recorded response next; neither reported technical questions in those initial parts.
The video deserves deliberate practice because one candidate reported two minutes to read and prepare, then three minutes to record, with only one take. Reported prompts focused on a favorite software product or solution and how the candidate made it, or on a personal project that made them a better software engineer. Another account also mentions AI usage as a possible behavioral theme. Build one compact story around a product or project you personally shaped: establish the problem, name your contribution, explain the choices you made, and close with what changed or what you learned.
Practice delivering that story aloud within three minutes rather than expanding it into a technical walkthrough. A single answer can carry a lot of pressure, so use a clear opening and leave time for a specific outcome. Candidate reports only cover the opening stages, and later steps were not described.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Rokt process.
I was given an aptitude test before the first interview. The first interview is the second stage of the hiring process and involves recording yourself answering a general question.
Questions asked: No technical questions in the first two parts. The first part is an aptitude IQ test and the second is a behavioral question on AI usage or your proudest project. You are given three minutes to answer about the personal project or product you have built that made you a better software engineer.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report an aptitude or IQ-style test before the recorded interview. The available accounts do not describe the assessment’s format, duration, or question types, so prepare for a general aptitude screen without assuming a technical coding exercise.
Candidates report a self-recorded video after the aptitude test. One candidate describes two minutes to prepare after reading the prompt, three minutes to record, and one take; rehearse a concise response that can stand on its own.
Reported prompts ask about a favorite software product or solution and how you made it, or a personal project that improved you as a software engineer. Another candidate mentions AI usage, so connect your example to concrete decisions, ownership, and learning.
