Candidates describe a Tyler Technologies engineering interview that is practical rather than puzzle-driven, though the technical content clearly varies by role. The four reports here come from two Software Engineer applicants, an Oracle PL/SQL Developer and a DevOps Intern, so read them as a range of experiences rather than one fixed loop.
The process starts with a recruiter or HR conversation. One Software Engineer applicant described a 15 to 20 minute call covering "tell me about yourself" and "why Tyler Technologies", with no coding. Another was asked to walk through a challenging situation from a previous role. The first of those applicants was then invited to a group interview that mixed technical and behavioral questions, and did not receive an offer.
The heaviest technical content is database-focused. The other Software Engineer applicant faced a three-person panel on packages, triggers, views, stored procedures and functions. The next round was seven SQL and PL/SQL questions in 60 minutes, delivered through Notepad, covering functions, bulk collections and query optimization. That candidate did not advance. The Oracle PL/SQL Developer described a two-hour technical session with three panelists: resume and conceptual questions on triggers, indexes, SQL tuning and UNION versus UNION ALL, then hands-on queries and procedures. That candidate also heard nothing after a positive HR email.
The DevOps Intern had a lighter experience: an online assessment, then a virtual interview built around explaining Object Oriented Programming, discussing projects and answering teamwork questions. That candidate received an offer. If your team works with Oracle, practice writing PL/SQL without an IDE, and keep concrete project examples ready.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates describe an opening conversation with a recruiter or HR. One Software Engineer applicant described a 15 to 20 minute call with "tell me about yourself" and "why Tyler Technologies" and no coding. Another was asked to walk through a challenging situation from a previous role. Prepare a concise motivation answer and a couple of project stories.
Two candidates describe three-person technical panels. A Software Engineer applicant was asked about PL/SQL packages, triggers, views, stored procedures and functions. An Oracle PL/SQL Developer spent the first hour on resume questions and conceptual topics: triggers, indexes, SQL tuning, and UNION versus UNION ALL. Concrete project examples helped.
Formats differed. One Software Engineer applicant faced seven SQL and PL/SQL questions in 60 minutes in Notepad, with functions, bulk collections and query optimization, and did not advance. The Oracle PL/SQL Developer wrote SQL queries and procedures in the second hour of the panel. Another Software Engineer applicant described a group interview mixing technical and behavioral questions.
