  1. You're tasked with optimizing the real-time bus availability display on the redBus platform, considering millions of concurrent users searching for tickets. Design a system that can handle frequent updates from bus operators while ensuring low latency for customers. Describe the architecture, data flow, and potential bottlenecks.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates system design skills, ability to handle scale, and real-time data processing.

  2. A user reports that their booked bus ticket intermittently shows an incorrect seat number on the app. Debug this issue, outlining your approach to identify the root cause, from initial investigation to potential fixes. Consider concurrency issues and database inconsistencies.

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses debugging methodology, understanding of concurrency, and problem-solving in a production environment.

  3. Imagine redBus is experiencing a significant increase in cancellations for a particular route. How would you approach debugging this from a software perspective? What logs, metrics, or system components would you investigate first?

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Tests logical thinking, ability to trace issues through a complex system, and understanding of common failure points.

  4. Write a SQL query to find the top 5 bus routes (origin-destination pairs) with the highest booking volume in the last month, excluding routes with more than 10% cancellations.

    Data ScientistSQL/MetricsTests: Measures SQL proficiency and ability to derive business insights from data.

  5. You've launched a new feature allowing users to filter buses by 'Zero Cancellation Fee'. How would you design an A/B test to measure its impact on conversion rate and booking volume? What are the key metrics and potential confounding factors?

    Data ScientistExperimentationTests: Evaluates understanding of A/B testing principles, metric definition, and experimental design.

  6. Given the large number of bus operators on redBus, how would you design a system to detect fraudulent bookings or cancellations in real-time? What data sources and algorithms would you consider?

    Software EngineerSystem Design/MLTests: Assesses ability to design robust systems for fraud detection, integrating data and ML concepts.
