Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 20, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.

The system design round was a 60-minute video call with a senior engineer. I was asked to design a card issuing service. The interviewer focused on requirements gathering, API design, data modelling, scalability, and handling failures (idempotency, retries, consistency). The atmosphere was friendly and collaborative, with lots of follow-up questions about trade-offs. I received feedback within 3 days.

Questions

Design a card issuing service, e.g. a service that handles high throughput and guarantees no double-issuing.
