  1. Imagine Chewy's website experiences a sudden 50% drop in product image loading times for logged-in users on mobile. How would you approach debugging this issue, starting from the front-end and working your way back to the database? What specific areas would you investigate first?

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Evaluates debugging skills, systematic problem-solving, and understanding of web application architecture under pressure.

  2. Chewy processes millions of orders daily. Design a highly available and scalable system to handle the real-time inventory updates across all product listings when a customer places an order. Consider potential race conditions and how to ensure data consistency.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Assesses ability to design scalable, fault-tolerant systems and handle concurrency challenges in a high-throughput environment.

  3. Chewy's 'Auto-Ship' feature is critical. Describe how you would design the system that reliably schedules and triggers recurring Auto-Ship orders, ensuring no orders are missed, even during system maintenance or failures. What are the key components and their interactions?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Tests understanding of distributed systems, scheduling, and fault tolerance in a business-critical feature.

  4. Chewy's search functionality is vital for discovery. If we saw a consistent increase in 'no results found' for specific, popular pet food brands, what code or system components would you inspect, and what metrics would you look at to diagnose the root cause?

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Probes analytical thinking and ability to pinpoint issues in complex search systems.

  5. We want to introduce a new feature allowing users to subscribe to 'pet care tips' relevant to their purchased pet type (dog, cat, etc.). How would you implement the backend service to manage these subscriptions and deliver the tips, considering personalization and potential future expansion?

    Software EngineerCoding and ReasoningTests: Evaluates coding proficiency, data modeling, and architectural thinking for new features.

  6. Write a SQL query to identify the top 5 most frequently purchased pet toy SKUs in the last quarter for customers who have also purchased at least one item from the 'health supplies' category.

    Data ScientistSQLTests: Tests SQL proficiency and ability to join tables and perform aggregations for customer segmentation.
