  1. Imagine BitGo's hot wallet service experiences a sudden surge in withdrawal requests, 10x the daily average. Describe the architectural considerations and potential failure points you'd anticipate in the withdrawal processing pipeline, focusing on how to maintain high availability and prevent transaction failures.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates the candidate's ability to design scalable and resilient systems under high load, anticipating common failure modes in distributed financial services.

  2. A critical bug is reported in the BitGo Wallet API that intermittently fails to broadcast transactions for a specific type of UTXO. Users are complaining about delays. Walk us through your debugging process, from initial report to identifying the root cause and proposing a fix, considering potential impact on other parts of the system.

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses systematic debugging skills, ability to reason about complex codebases, and understanding of transaction lifecycle in a cryptocurrency context.

  3. BitGo supports numerous cryptocurrencies, each with its own transaction formats and network intricacies. How would you design a generalized client library or SDK for interacting with these diverse blockchain networks, aiming for extensibility and developer ease of use?

    Software EngineerSoftware DesignTests: Probes architectural thinking for complex, multi-asset systems, emphasizing maintainability and abstraction.

  4. We are considering integrating support for a new, emerging DeFi token. What are the key technical challenges and security considerations you would investigate before adding this to BitGo's supported assets, and how would you approach validating its on-chain behavior?

    Software EngineerTechnical FeasibilityTests: Tests the candidate's understanding of blockchain security, smart contract risks, and the process of vetting new digital assets for a custodial service.

  5. Describe how you would implement a rate limiter for the BitGo API to protect against abuse and ensure fair usage for all clients. Consider different strategies (e.g., token bucket, leaky bucket) and how you would handle distributed systems.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates knowledge of common API design patterns for performance and security in a high-traffic environment.

  6. BitGo's core product is secure custody. How would you design a system to monitor and detect potential insider threats or unauthorized access attempts within our infrastructure that handles private keys?

    Software EngineerSecurity DesignTests: Focuses on security-first thinking and understanding of threat modeling in a high-value asset environment.
