Honestly, it was pretty simple. First I had a quick HR chat to talk about my background, expectations, and the company. Then I did a technical interview with a couple of devs where we discussed my experience and how I approach problems. Finally, I met the team in a relaxed setting just to see if the vibe and way of working matched on both sides.
