Process
The process began with a screening call.
After that, I had a live coding session with one of Datadog’s engineers, which was of medium difficulty.
Then, I went through three additional interviews:
- Another live coding session
- A system design interview
- A behavioral discussion with the recruiting manager
The live coding interviews were moderately challenging, and for the system design, it's important to come well-prepared.
Questions
sliding window, buffers, debugging your solution
