Software Engineer II SDE2 Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
The process started with a recruiter screen, then a technical screen with an engineering manager, and then a virtual loop with multiple rounds. Overall, it was pretty straightforward, but the technical screen was a bit different. It was not LeetCode; I was asked to design an API, so it was a bit of low-level design.
Questions
Design an API rate limiter.
