Interview Process
I had a technical phone screen with Roblox for a Software Engineer position. The interview lasted about 14 minutes. The interviewer started by asking about my experience and background, and then moved on to the technical questions.
The main question was related to rate limiting. I was given a scenario where we needed to limit the number of requests a user can make to our server within a certain time frame. The interviewer wanted to understand how I would implement this and what data structures I would use. I explained the token bucket algorithm and discussed its advantages and limitations. We had a great discussion about trade-offs, and the interviewer provided feedback on my thought process.
After the technical part, the interviewer asked a few behavioral questions regarding teamwork and handling deadlines. Overall, I felt the interview went well, and I am looking forward to their response.
