During the tech phone screen, I was asked to implement a rate limiter. The interviewer provided me with a problem statement which required me to limit the rate at which requests are processed. I started by discussing my approach and then moved on to the coding part. After writing the initial code, we discussed potential edge cases. I also explained the time complexity of my solution.

In addition, the interviewer asked behavioral questions to gauge my fit for the team. They wanted to know how I handle team conflicts and what my motivation for applying was. Overall, it was a balanced interview focusing on both technical knowledge and soft skills.
