Interview Process
The interview consisted of a phone screen where the main focus was on implementing a rate limiter. The interviewer asked me to describe how I would design and implement a rate limiter. I explained the concept and discussed various methods like token bucket and leaky bucket, as well as how to handle bursts of traffic. We delved into details regarding edge cases and error handling during the implementation process. The interviewer seemed satisfied with my approach and asked follow-up questions about scalability and potential improvements to the design. I was also asked about my experience in previous projects, particularly focusing on algorithms and data structures. Overall, it was a technical deep-dive with a mix of behavioral questions about teamwork and project experience. The interview lasted around 30 minutes, and the interviewer was understanding and friendly.
