Mastering the System Design Interview
What you’ll learn
Practice working through real-world system design interview questions
Apply horizontal scaling to transactions, data storage, analytics, and databases
Choose appropriate algorithms and data structures for system designs
Structure your interview responses to ensure the best outcomes
Approach system design problems from the right angles, and with the right questions.
Address the soft skills your interviewer is secretly evaluating you on
Requirements
Some prior experience in system architecture and computer science is expected.
Description
Ace your next systems design interview! Get tips, tricks, and practice interviews with a former hiring manager from Amazon, who interviewed thousands of software engineers and hired hundreds. Frank Kane will share the secrets of what your interviewer is looking for and the technologies you’re expected to know. Practice makes perfect, so you’ll also get six mock system design interviews with real-world interview questions from the biggest tech employers.A technical interview loop is a demanding process, and the system design part is often the most challenging. This course gets you prepared, and maximizes your odds of landing a new job that could change your life.About 5 hours of on-demand video content will cover what you need to know before starting your next interview:Techniques for scaling distributed systems and service fleetsDatabase technologies and “NoSQL” solutionsUse of caching to improve scalability and performanceDesigning for resiliency and handling failuresDistributed storage solutionsA review of algorithms and data structuresProcessing big data with Apache SparkAn overview of cloud computing resourcesInterview strategies for structuring your system design interviewSix full mock interviews with real-world system design interview questionsGeneral tips and tricks for a successful technical interviewWe’ll cover topics in high-level design and low-level design, software architecture, and more.This course is for experienced software engineers who need some extra preparation prior to a challenging system design interview. Enroll now, and you’ll have every advantage going into your next tech interview!Don’t take our word for it – check out this note sent to us by a learner in this course:”Interview prep is even more challenging without proper guidance. This course was a real saver because I was asked every concept that the course discussed. The mock interview was helpful enough to practice your learnings for real world problems. I was able to ace my system design portion of interview and got my offer at Amazon.As a non-CS major student, I struggled to find good resources. The instructor was actually from Amazon and had real interview questions. He focuses on skills that really matter on the interview rather than hacky tricks. You will lose nothing on this course because you will grow a lot regardless of the interview result. And… this course will remain as a strong guide what to focus on more.”
