Mock Interview | High Level Design

This session simulates a real system design interview commonly conducted for SDE2, Senior Software Engineer, and Backend Engineer roles at product companies. You'll be asked to design a scalable distributed system while discussing requirements, architecture, tradeoffs, scalability, reliability, and operational considerations.

During the session, I evaluate:

• Requirement gathering and clarification

• System decomposition and architecture design

• API and data model design

• Scalability and performance considerations

• Database and storage choices

• Caching, messaging, and asynchronous workflows

• Reliability, fault tolerance, and observability

• Tradeoff analysis and decision-making

• Communication and interview structure

You'll receive detailed feedback on:

• Design depth and completeness

• Architectural tradeoffs and bottlenecks

• Areas where interviewers typically probe deeper

• Common system design mistakes

• How to structure your answers under interview pressure

• A personalized preparation plan based on your performance
