Interview Process

The interview process began with a phone interview with a recruiter, followed by a technical screen with another recruiter. During the technical screen, I was tasked with implementing a rate limiter in Python. The interviewer provided a scenario where I had to ensure that a specific endpoint was not hit more than a certain number of times within a given timeframe. I explained my thought process and how I would handle edge cases. The interviewer was friendly and open to discussing my implementation choices. After discussing the solution in detail, they asked about my background and experience. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I felt that I could express my technical knowledge clearly.
