Imagine Swiggy's delivery fleet is experiencing a 20% increase in average delivery time in a specific city due to a sudden surge in demand and road closures. Design a system to dynamically re-route drivers and optimize batching to mitigate this. Consider real-time traffic data, driver location, order priority, and restaurant prep times.
Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates the candidate's ability to design scalable, real-time systems for complex logistical challenges, incorporating various data sources and constraints.You are building a feature for Swiggy to allow users to pre-order groceries for delivery at a specific future time. Design the database schema to store these pre-orders, considering potential concurrency issues when multiple users try to book the same time slot for popular items. How would you handle inventory management for these pre-orders?
Software EngineerDatabase Design & ConcurrencyTests: Assesses understanding of database schema design, ACID properties, and handling concurrent operations in a high-traffic e-commerce environment.A critical Swiggy service responsible for order assignment is experiencing intermittent high latency, causing delayed order fulfillment. You suspect a recent code deployment. How would you approach debugging this issue in a production environment with millions of concurrent orders? What metrics would you monitor?
Software EngineerDebugging & Production MonitoringTests: Tests systematic debugging skills, knowledge of production monitoring tools, and ability to identify root causes of performance issues under pressure.Swiggy is considering launching a subscription service for premium grocery delivery, offering faster delivery and exclusive discounts. Design the API endpoints required to manage user subscriptions, including sign-up, renewal, cancellation, and integration with payment gateways.
Software EngineerAPI DesignTests: Evaluates the candidate's ability to design robust and efficient APIs for a new product offering, considering security and scalability.Write a Python function that takes a list of Swiggy orders (each with restaurant ID, customer ID, delivery time, and order value) and returns the top 5 customers by total order value for a given restaurant.
Software EngineerCoding & AlgorithmsTests: Assesses basic Python programming skills, data manipulation, and handling of list/dictionary operations.Design a rate limiter for Swiggy's restaurant API to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage. Consider different strategies like token bucket and leaky bucket, and discuss trade-offs in terms of accuracy, complexity, and resource consumption.
Software EngineerSystem Design & ScalabilityTests: Examines understanding of distributed system principles, specifically rate limiting, and the ability to choose appropriate algorithms for a given scale.
