Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

  • Session: AI-Assisted Programming (AIP) - 60 mins. In this 60-minute interview, we'll assess your AI-assisted coding skills. Unlike traditional coding interviews, we encourage and expect you to use AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or others throughout your problem-solving process. Please have your preferred AI tools ready and be prepared to share your screen. We'll look for how effectively you collaborate with AI, make decisions, and maintain engineering rigour.
  • Session: System Design and Architecture (SDA) - 45 mins. In this 45-minute interview, we'll assess your ability to design scalable, pragmatic solutions to complex problems, even when requirements are incomplete or ambiguous. During the session, you'll be asked to break down a problem, starting with a simple design and iterating toward a more robust, scalable solution.

Questions

You are a part of a product team tasked with building a collaborative mouse pointer feature for a web application. This feature allows multiple users from different machines to see mouse pointers moving seamlessly in real time on the same application. We will work towards building an MVP of this system ready to launch to customers.
