System Design Interviews: What, Why and How?
August 21, 2025 · Rupor Lida 3
A talk on why companies run system design interviews, which engineering skills the format can reveal, and how to adapt it to an organization's context. It separates the interview's purpose from the familiar big-tech template and shows how to manage both the task and its difficulty deliberately.
Speaker
Four questions explored in the talk
- 01Why should a company conduct system design interviews?
- 02How can the interview be designed outside a big-tech context?
- 03Which candidate knowledge and skills should it evaluate?
- 04How can the task's difficulty be adjusted during the interview?
