I applied online and heard back from the recruiter.

I had an initial technical phone screen and then an onsite interview. The onsite interview consisted of a live coding challenge and three in-person interviews.

These interviews focused heavily on distributed systems fundamentals and coding skills.

Talking to the team and working on challenges was fun. I solved all the questions well before the time limit and had plenty of time remaining to ask about company culture and the work environment, etc.

I heard back after a few days from the recruiter that I wasn't a good fit. I didn't really understand what went wrong, and the recruiter had no further information about it.

Standard distributed systems topics:

• Design Lyft
• URL shortener
• Autocompletion
