Interview Process

I had a phone screen interview with Roblox that lasted about 26 minutes. The interviewer started with introductory questions about my background and experience. Then, they asked me to solve a coding problem related to rate limiting. The task was to design a rate limiter that limits the number of requests a user can make in a given time frame. I was expected to write code on the spot while explaining my thought process. After I provided an initial solution, we discussed some edge cases and optimizations. The interviewer was engaged and provided helpful feedback throughout the session.
