Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bellevue, Washington

February 1, 2025
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Screening Interview:

15-ish minutes of behavioral questions (tell me about a time when...).

40-minute coding exercise. Parenthesis balancing, I recall. It was not too hard.

Full Interview:

  • 1 behavioral question
  • 1 system design question
  • 2 coding questions

The coding questions were LeetCode-like, but with some interesting twists that threw me off. I probably had not practiced enough.

Questions

The system design interview was for an online auction system. It included front-end and back-end elements, such as updating the web UI in real time as new bids came in, and how to shard data and processing so that auction interactions were fast as they approached their deadline and there were many bidders and watchers.
