Imagine Aon's platform is experiencing intermittent latency spikes affecting client access to real-time risk analytics. Describe how you would approach debugging this issue, considering the distributed nature of our microservices and large data volumes.
Software EngineerDebugging & PerformanceTests: Evaluates problem-solving skills under pressure and knowledge of distributed systems debugging.Design a system to ingest and process millions of real-time insurance claims data points daily for fraud detection. Consider scalability, fault tolerance, and data consistency for Aon's global operations.
Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Assesses ability to design scalable, resilient systems for large-scale data processing.We are seeing a significant increase in data processing times for our catastrophe modeling service. What are potential bottlenecks in the data pipeline, and how would you identify and resolve them? Focus on optimizing for large datasets and complex calculations.
Software EngineerPerformance OptimizationTests: Tests understanding of performance bottlenecks in data-intensive applications.Aon's client portal allows users to view their aggregated risk profiles. How would you design a caching strategy to ensure low latency for frequently accessed data while maintaining data freshness and consistency for millions of concurrent users?
Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates knowledge of caching mechanisms and trade-offs in high-traffic applications.Write a Python function to identify duplicate client records in a large CSV file (millions of rows) based on a combination of name, address, and date of birth, considering potential data inconsistencies. Assume the file is too large to fit into memory.
Software EngineerCoding & AlgorithmsTests: Tests coding proficiency, handling of large data, and algorithm selection.Our risk assessment service relies on integrating with numerous external APIs for market data. How would you design a robust error handling and retry mechanism for these integrations to minimize disruption to our clients?
Software EngineerResilience & Error HandlingTests: Assesses understanding of building reliable integrations in complex environments.
