Interview Prompt

A retail brokerage processes about 50 million trade executions a day across 12 million accounts, and the risk desk needs account positions updated within seconds so it can freeze accounts that breach exposure limits while the market is still open. The same execution events feed an end-of-day regulatory report where every trade must be counted exactly once, and that report has to be reproducible byte-for-byte months later when an auditor asks what was filed. Design the pipeline that serves both consumers.

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
