Interview Process
I had a phone interview with Roblox, where I was asked a technical question regarding implementing a rate limiter. The interviewer started by explaining the scenario where the rate limiter would be necessary, such as managing API request limits. We discussed various approaches to implement it, including token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms. I explained how to handle edge cases such as bursts of requests and guaranteed high availability. After the technical discussion, we moved on to some behavioral questions, where I had to explain my previous project experiences and how I handled challenges in team settings. Overall, I felt that the interview went quite well because I was able to effectively communicate my thought process and solutions to the problems presented.
