Interview Prompt

A nightly load failed halfway, then the automatic retry ran the whole job again and inserted the first half's rows twice. Design the job so a retry after partial failure is safe.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your pipeline design solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
