Interview Process
I went through the technical phone screen for Roblox with a software engineer. The interview was broken down into two main parts: coding and behavioral. In the coding part, I was asked to implement a rate limiter.
The interviewer provided a scenario where we needed to limit the number of requests a user can make to an API within a given time frame. This required implementing a data structure that can track the requests made by a user and determine if their new request should be allowed based on the time limits set.
After discussing the requirements, I started coding. The interviewer asked probing questions throughout to ensure I was considering edge cases and performance impacts.
For the behavioral part, I was asked about my experience with team projects and how I handle conflicts in a team environment. Overall, it was a good balance of technical and soft skills assessment which I appreciate.
