Interview Process
The interview process started with a phone screen where the interviewer asked about my background in software engineering. Then, they presented a coding problem regarding rate limiting algorithms. I was given a scenario to implement a feature that limits the number of requests a user can make to an API. The discussion revolved around the concept of token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms.
After I provided my initial solution, the interviewer discussed the pros and cons of different approaches. We delved into scalability and how to handle edge cases like burst traffic and system failures. Overall, the conversation was engaging, and the interviewer was friendly and open to discussion.
