Initial phone interview with common questions about skills, experience, and the job description.

A few days later, I took a remote interview that involved coding on a whiteboard. It was a pretty simple question involving traversing and manipulating an M x N matrix, along with complexity calculations.

A week later, I had an in-person interview at the XIV offices in Tel Aviv. The interviewers were the recruiting team leader and an engineer. They were very nice people.

The first task was to implement a function that outputs a sorted array from two input sorted arrays.

The second task was a difficult algorithmic question about a client and a storage server. It required implementing the logic behind reading and writing a single document.

Constraints:

• The client may crash at any time.
• The client has read and write functions.
• The client has only volatile memory.
• The server has read(address) and write(address, data) functions.
• The server is always up.
• The server has an endless amount of blocks.
• There is only one single file to be read and written.
• The last non-corrupted version of the document should always be returned.
• The document is smaller than a block of the server.
