Interview Prompt

Our batch scheduler stores each job's start and end time as Unix epoch seconds, writing the end time only once a job finishes, so jobs still running or killed mid-flight have no end time. For the jobs that finished, report how many whole minutes each one ran, alongside its job_id and job_name.

Summary

Promised by noon. Delivered at midnight.

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 sql solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
