The interview process was smooth. The recruiter reached out to me and went over some basic questions. I have approximately 8 years of experience with Amazon, and they said I could be a match between IC4 and Principal SDE.

As next steps, they set up two calls:

• A hiring manager check.
• A system design interview, both with principal engineers at Roblox.

The hiring manager interview went well. It wasn't super scripted; it focused on behavioral questions, such as:

• What is your framework for mentoring?
• What do you see as growth in the people you are mentoring?
• How do you approach a scenario for launching a product from zero to one?

They specifically wanted my response based on my previous experience, not what I would ideally do.

The system design interview also went well. I didn't have enough time, but I was able to come up with a design and contracts for the problem.

Questions around mentoring, and launching a new product/initiative.
