SDE 3 @ Netomi
Summary
I interviewed for an SDE 3 position at Netomi, which included rounds on data structures, system design (URL shortener and rate limiter), and operational questions. Ultimately, I was rejected, deemed a better fit for SDE 2.
Full Experience
Round 1
- Warm up: Find the first no repeating character in a given string
- LLD + HLD discussion on a url shortener system
Round 2
- Short discussion on a past work project
- HLD + LLD of a rate limiter
- Some questions on Kafka, what would you do when when you’re on call and find issue like higher latency in an API etc.
Verdict
Rejected. Seemed better fit for SDE 2, didn't move forward.
