A go-to architecture topic of mine for backend engineer interviews is to design a webhook system (the push side). I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of it because depending on the person’s experience dealing with a running production system, I’d get varying level of detail unprompted and that usually is a nice proxy for depth of experience.
It turns out my interview question is now a SaaS!
Kudos on the launch OP. This is a much needed service and it’s one of those things that once you see exist you go d’oh, why didn’t we have something like this all this while.
Square had a similar interview question but it was more along the lines of how to keep a socket open to a financial services company. Lots of the same issues.
