The interview began with behavioral questions about previous experiences and challenges. After that, I was given a coding question related to rate limiting. I needed to implement a solution to ensure that requests to a service didn’t exceed a given threshold within a specified time frame. The interviewer was very supportive and provided hints when I got stuck. I was able to solve the problem, but it took me a bit longer than expected. Overall, it was a pleasant experience despite the nervousness before the interview.
