Interview Process
I had a phone interview for a software engineer role at Roblox. The interviewer started with a brief introduction about themselves and the team. Then, they asked me about my background and previous experiences relevant to the role.
After the introductory conversation, we moved onto coding questions. The first question was about implementing a rate limiter for a web service. The interviewer was looking for a solution with efficient time complexity and space complexity. I discussed the problem and walked through my thought process, considering edge cases as well. We went through a few variations of the problem, and I felt I managed to convey my reasoning well.
The interviewer was very supportive and provided hints when I seemed to get stuck. We also briefly touched on my understanding of system design principles as they applied to scalable solutions. The interview lasted about 25 minutes, and they ended by asking if I had any questions about the company or the role. Overall, it felt like a positive experience!
