Technical Round 2 – Bar Raiser (1 Hour)

It was a low-level design round. After the introduction, the interviewer gave me a problem statement. She explained the problem statement and said that she did not need the complete code; I only needed to provide pseudocode.

Problem Statement:

There is a JIRA-like app that consists of buckets, and each bucket contains a list of tasks. Each bucket has a unique ID, and each task has an ID and a user email. Additional data can be added if needed.

Since it was a frontend interview, I only had to provide the solution with respect to the client side.

1. Suggest the correct datatype to store the data and perform different operations.
2. Search a task using user email.
3. Sort the tasks based on ‘created at’ date.
4. Delete any task.

After I provided the pseudocode for all the questions, she asked me to give the Component design for the same, and then she started with some basic web app related questions:

1. What is CDN?
2. What is http2 protocol?
3. How we keep track of version of an application – (Version Control) ?
4. What is CI/CD and how we implement ?
5. How we optismise a web app.

Both interviewers were very kind and helpful; they assisted me whenever I was stuck or heading in the wrong direction. After the interview, both gave me positive feedback.
After a week I got a call from the Kotak’s HR, that I was selected for the third round of interview. It was an onsite interview.
