Question 1
"How would you design a system to handle millions of concurrent users, ensuring scalability, reliability, and low latency?"
The interview process at Alter Domus typically begins with an initial HR screening call to assess your background, interest in the role, and basic fit. This is followed by a technical or role-specific interview where you're asked about your experience, relevant skills, and situational responses (e.g., conflict resolution or project challenges). For technical roles, questions may cover tools like React, Entity Framework, or general software design. A final managerial or leadership round often focuses on cultural fit and long-term alignment with the company. The process is generally reported as smooth, with a mix of behavioral and technical questions depending on the role.
