Interview Process
I recently interviewed for the Software Development Engineer (SDE) position in the infrastructure track at LinkedIn. The interview consisted of multiple rounds, including a coding interview, a system design interview, and a behavioral interview. The coding interview was focused on algorithmic problems, while the system design interview required designing a job scheduler and discussing scaling and optimization strategies.
Technical Questions
- Nested List Weight Sum
- Nested List Weight Sum II
- True/False question regarding a coding problem
- Write each subset of a given set
- System design: Design a job scheduler and discuss scaling, retries, and parallel execution
Tips & Insights
Be prepared to discuss leadership and cross-team cooperation in the behavioral interview. It’s also essential to think about optimization strategies for systems handling high request volumes.
