Interview Process

I had a phone screen interview with Roblox for a Software Engineer position. The interview started with a brief introduction about my background and experiences. The interviewer presented a coding challenge related to rate limiting, where I was tasked with implementing a system to restrict the number of requests a user could make within a specified time frame. I discussed my approach while coding, explaining the use of appropriate data structures for the challenge. The technical discussion lasted about 30 minutes, followed by a brief chat about company culture and my interest in Roblox.
