Interview Process
I had a phone interview for a Software Engineer position at Roblox. The interview lasted about 20 minutes. The interviewer started with a brief introduction about the company and the role, followed by technical questions.
The primary question revolved around designing a rate limiter system. I had to explain how to control the number of requests a user can make in a specified time frame without overwhelming the server. I discussed various algorithms and techniques such as token bucket and leaky bucket, explaining their pros and cons. The interviewer seemed satisfied with the level of detail in my explanation.
After that, I was asked behavioral questions about my previous experiences and how I approach problem-solving within a team. The interview wrapped up with a few questions from my end, which the interviewer answered patiently. Overall, it felt positive, but I am still waiting for feedback from the HR team.
