Interview Process
I had a technical phone interview with Roblox for a Software Engineer position. The interviewer started by asking about my previous experience. After discussing my background, they moved on to the coding question. The main question was about implementing a Rate Limiter. They asked me to explain how I would go about designing the rate limiter and then requested a code implementation. I discussed the different algorithms I could use (like Token Bucket and Leaky Bucket) and their trade-offs. After implementing the code, we went through edge cases, and I received feedback along the way. The interviewer was quite friendly and provided some hints that helped me refine my solution. We also touched upon some behavioral questions towards the end, focusing on my teamwork and communication skills. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I am awaiting their feedback.
