Interview Prompt
Delivery trucks stream GPS pings continuously, adding several terabytes of telemetry a day that must be retained long term. Data science pulls that history in hourly loads to train route-optimization models. Design the pipeline that feeds both the operations map and the analytics archive.
Summary
Every truck is talking. Not everyone can hear them yet.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Draw your pipeline on the design canvas: sources, transforms, storage and checks
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
