Interview Process

I had a phone interview with Roblox for a Software Engineer position. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and covered both technical and behavioral questions. The interviewer started with a brief introduction about themselves and their role at Roblox.

We moved into technical questions, beginning with basic data structures. I was asked to implement a rate limiter and discuss its design, specifically in the context of API calls. The interviewer was interested in my problem-solving approach and how I handled edge cases.

After the coding challenge, we shifted to behavioral questions. They asked about my previous experiences in teamwork and conflict resolution, and I shared an experience from a past project where communication was key to overcoming a challenge.

Overall, it felt like a solid interview, and I appreciated the focus on both technical skills and cultural fit. I’m looking forward to the follow-up.
