Typeface AI Interview Experience | Frontend | 1 YOE | Bangalore → Hyderabad

At the time of interviewing with Typeface AI, I had around 1 year of experience and was working in Bangalore. The role was based out of Hyderabad.

I applied through a referral and heard back within a week.

Compensation: 23L + 2L (bonus)

Round 1: Machine Coding (Frontend)

The first round focused on building a chatbot‑style UI. The main requirement was to implement a chat interface where messages appear properly and the view auto‑scrolls to the bottom as new messages come in. There was also emphasis on keyboard interaction and overall UX behavior.

It was a fairly practical round, less about algorithms and more about how cleanly you handle UI logic and edge cases.

Round 2: Machine Coding (Problem Solving + Implementation)

The second round was again a machine coding round but more focused on logic.

The problem discussed was around calculating how an image should fit inside a container while maintaining aspect ratio. The goal was to dynamically compute width and height based on container dimensions.

I implemented the solution and later shared it with the interviewer:

function getImageBoundary(containerBoundary, imageBoundary) {
    const aspectRatioOfImage = imageBoundary.width / imageBoundary.height;
    const aspectRatioOfContainer =
        containerBoundary.width / containerBoundary.height;
let width, height;

if (aspectRatioOfImage > aspectRatioOfContainer) {
    width = containerBoundary.width;
    height = containerBoundary.width / aspectRatioOfImage;
} else {
    height = containerBoundary.height;
    width = containerBoundary.height * aspectRatioOfImage;
}

return {
    width,
    height,
};

}

This round tested clarity of thinking and ability to translate logic into clean code.

Outcome

I did not proceed with further rounds. The role required relocation to Hyderabad, and during the process I decided not to move out of Bangalore, so I chose to stop here.
