Interview Process
I had a phone screen for a software engineering position at Roblox. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and was conducted by a technical recruiter.
The first part of the interview focused on basic behavioral questions, including my past projects and my experience working in teams. Then, we moved to the coding portion where I was presented with a challenge related to rate limiting, which involved implementing a solution to limit the number of requests processed over a specific time frame. I used Java to solve the problem and explained my thought process throughout the challenge. The interviewer was very encouraging and provided feedback as I worked through the problem. We also briefly discussed system design principles, specifically how to approach building a scalable rate limiter for an API. At the end of the interview, the recruiter informed me that they would reach out soon regarding the next steps in the process.
