Interview Process
During the phone screen, I was asked a question related to implementing a rate limiter. The interviewer wanted to know about different algorithms I could implement for rate limiting, and how I would approach the problem. I discussed the token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms and provided examples of their application in real-world scenarios. Then, they asked about edge cases and optimizations that could be made. After working through the question, the interviewer probed further into scalability and performance considerations, which led to a deeper technical discussion. Overall, it felt like a thorough technical evaluation but I believe I could have communicated some of my ideas better during the back-and-forth exchange.
