Content

Systems-design interview on a geo-distributed storage problem. Drove the conversation, asked clarifying questions early, made sensible trade-offs. Pushed back on a framing decision I made — productively. Left me wanting to hire.

Transcript excerpt

Selected moment from the interview.

"The trade-off here is between cost and tail latency; I'd lean toward latency."
