Interview Process
The Roblox interview consisted of a technical phone screen where I was asked to implement a rate limiter. The interviewer wanted to understand my thought process and approach to solving the problem. I presented a solution that utilized a sliding window technique to efficiently manage request rates. I explained how I would maintain counts and timestamps of requests in a data structure to ensure that we could quickly access the information we needed for rate limiting. The interviewer probed deeper into edge cases, such as handling bursts of requests and ensuring the system remained performant under pressure. Overall, the technical interview felt rigorous, but I was able to demonstrate my problem-solving skills effectively.
