"Implement a sliding-window rate limiter: allow N requests per user per minute."
What we evaluate for a Backend role
Technical Fundamentals
API design (REST semantics, idempotency, versioning), databases (indexing, transactions, N+1, SQL vs NoSQL trade-offs), caching layers, concurrency and race conditions, authentication/authorization patterns, message queues and async processing.
Problem Solving
Problems adjacent to API/data work: request de-duplication, rate-limiter logic, pagination algorithms, DB-query-shaped data transformations, concurrency-safe counters, log parsing/aggregation. Keep problems grounded in backend contexts rather than abstract puzzles.
Projects & Behavioral
Backend project deep-dive: schema design decisions, scaling or reliability incidents and what changed after, API contract evolution, performance profiling with real numbers, on-call/debugging stories.
HR Round
Motivation for infrastructure/product-server work, dealing with production pressure, ownership of reliability.
System Design
Classic backend system design: load balancing, data partitioning, caching tiers, consistency trade-offs, queue-based decoupling, failure-mode analysis.
