What to expect for the System design interview for Roblox? I have passed the Karat interview. The recruiter mentioned this would be like a screening round before final interviews with the team.

    Expect strong questions around distributed systems. Make sure you explicitly state the pros and cons of your design. Think about scale and all the regular stuff.

      I can't say the exact questions, but very similar to the top system design questions you may find online

    • Hmm, they may have inconsistent bar then. When I was interviewing, I thought that I misunderstood something - it was way simpler than I expected. Nope, everything was good and I passed the round

      Yes. I can’t mention it here. But initially the recruiter had shared the job description for another role. After the karat interview he said there is one more team in the org that has an opening. This system design interview is with the second team.

      Well it depends on the team to decide what they want to ask in system design questions. Different teams may have very different questions

    I did Roblox system design interview and my question was nothing like a typical system design interview. Instead of building some distributed system, they wanted me to build a client-side system with almost no focus on the server side aspect. I was so thrown off that I still don't even know if I properly understood the question. I don't want to say the problem because it was very obviously modeled on the type of work the team I was interviewing for does and I am still in the process...but my answer was to use a client side cache. I was super wrong though, as I got explicit feedback that I failed that interview, but I still have no idea wtf they wanted me to do
