Interview Process
The interview process began with a technical phone screen. The interviewer started by asking about my background and experience. We then moved on to a coding question related to rate limiting. The prompt was to implement a rate limiter class that allows you to control the rate of requests in a specified time frame. I explained my approach before coding, outlining how I would use a sliding window or token bucket mechanism. The interviewer was very responsive, providing hints when I was stuck and encouraging me to think aloud throughout the problem-solving process. Once I completed the code, we discussed the complexity and potential edge cases. Overall, it was challenging but stimulating, ending on a positive note as we wrapped up with questions about the company culture and development processes.
