Interview Process
During the technical phone screen for the Software Engineer position at Roblox, the interviewer asked me to implement a rate limiter. The basic requirements were that the system should permit a maximum of 10 requests per second per user. I was asked to provide a solution using a sliding window algorithm.
I discussed my thought process out loud, covered edge cases, and then started coding. The interviewer was interactive, asking clarifying questions along the way. After I finished, we went through the code step-by-step. I received positive feedback about my approach, indicating that I had passed this technical part. Following this, we moved to a few behavioral questions related to teamwork and project experiences.
