Applied online for Backend Engineer at CloudFlare and got invited to the online Hackerrank challenge.
Got two questions
- Use a Rest Api to list out Spiderman movies released in sorted order
- Validate IP Address
Upon completion i got a email from the hiring manager to schedule a phone interview.
Phone Interview:
He started out with the basic introduction of the company and his role and team. Was really professional although i could not understand his accent much . Started off by asking what i did in my previous job and any projects i was proud of.He then moved onto tech questions.
Technical Questions
- Can you describe what happens when you hit a url in the brower? (Http request/response etc...)
- What will you do to ensure correctness if your DB has a lot of incoming traffic.
- How to check the correctness of Microservices when all of them are being developed independently.
I answered all of them and he wrapped up the call. Got my rejection mail four days later.
