Lead Developer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
The first stage was a take-home exercise, which was easy.
The second stage was a screening where they assess your experience in building large-scale, fault-tolerant systems. They seem to go heavy on the theoretical side, asking about:
- Fault-tolerant design patterns
- How to take something from MVP to production
- Pub-sub systems (with a particular focus on Kafka)
- Incident response and triage
So, be ready to actually name design patterns. Even an experienced engineer might find this difficult without preparation.
Questions
How would you design a large-scale fault-tolerant system?
Which programming languages would you use, and which tech stack?
