Interview Process
The interview process comprised a technical phone screening where I was asked questions related to system design and algorithms. Initially, I was asked about my previous experiences and how they relate to the role I applied for. I was then tasked with designing a rate limiter for an API, focusing on effectively managing requests while maintaining a certain throughput without overwhelming the system. It was essential to explain my thought process, so I discussed my approach using a token bucket algorithm as an example. The interview lasted approximately 30-40 minutes and included a few behavioral questions regarding team collaboration and conflict resolution.
