Interview Process
The interview process began with a phone screen where I was asked a technical coding question related to rate limiting. The interviewer was friendly and allowed me to clarify my thoughts and questions regarding the problem. Although I was not familiar with the specifics of rate limiting, I tried to reason through different approaches.
After the coding question, we transitioned to behavioral questions where I was asked about my past experience, challenges I faced in team projects, and how I handle conflicts.
Technical Questions
- Rate Limiting (Design, Concurrency): “Design a rate limiter that limits the number of requests a user can make in a given timeframe.”
I explained the concept of a token bucket and how I might implement it using a sliding window algorithm. The interviewer asked follow-up questions about edge cases and performance considerations for a production environment.
Tips & Insights
Overall, it was a good experience, and I felt I communicated my thought process well.
