Interview Process
In this phone screen interview with Roblox for a Software Engineer position, I faced a rate limiter problem. The challenge was to implement rate limiting logic in a web service. The interviewer wanted to see how I would handle burst traffic and ensure that the service could manage the requests without being overwhelmed. I discussed different strategies, including token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms, and they were interested in my thought process and how I approached coding solutions. Overall, it was a positive experience with constructive feedback.
