Interview Process
The interview started with a brief introduction of my background and experiences in software engineering. The interviewer was very friendly and made me feel comfortable.
Next, they presented a coding challenge related to implementing a rate limiter. The question focused on designing a system that allows a certain number of requests within a specific time frame. The interviewer was particularly interested in how I would handle edge cases and potential racing conditions.
I discussed my thought process, explaining how I would use a token bucket algorithm and walked through my code step by step. The interviewer asked clarifying questions to gauge my understanding and the rationale behind my choices.
After coding, we moved on to behavioral questions, including how I handled challenges in past projects and how I work collaboratively in a team. Overall, it was an engaging experience, and I felt it went well!
