Interview Prompt
Design the order pipeline for a global luxury marketplace whose sales arrive in three shapes: web storefront JSON events, mobile apps' batched JSON, and partner integrations polled as XML. Flash sales push order volume to about 20 times the normal 40,000-a-day rate for an hour. A clean daily archive for data science modeling is also required.
Summary
Three channels feeding one view. Not all of them speak the same language.
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
