Backend Software Engineer Interview Experience - Guaçuí, Espírito Santo
Process
First, there was an initial interview in which I was asked general questions about my past professional experiences and my familiarity with concurrency issues.
Then, the next step was a technical take-home assessment. I was given a repo and some functional and non-functional requirements. I had to finish the exercise in up to two days.
The feedback for my submission was subpar. I had no opportunity to explain my decisions for the architecture. It sounded like they just ran a battery of tests against my API, and it was a binary decision. A lot of the extra effort to build a thoughtful architecture, e2e and unit tests, load tests, and DSL was ignored.
Questions
How would you handle concurrency in a back-end API?
