The interview process was fast. I first spoke with the Hiring Manager, who assessed my experience and job fit.

Following the Hiring Manager, a team of four interviewed me individually. I enquired about the problems the team is trying to solve.

Questions were related to my experience, problem-solving, behavioral aspects, and "tricks of the trade" (data structures, design, profiling, etc.).

The question was related to the transaction DB getting bottlenecked and the team facing scalability challenges.

Let's think out loud about this. We'll also discuss any design or architecture we would prefer to solve such kinds of problems.
