I applied online. I interviewed at Temporal Technologies (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
First was the recruiter tech screen where I was asked about my previous experience, how fluent am I in distributed systems and concurrency and also why Temporal.
The technical screen consisted of two rounds:
First round was the system design round where I was asked to design a web crawler that'll be able to handle millions of url per second
The second round consisted of concurrency coding round:
In this round again I was asked to code a concurrent web crawler with problem's objective is to arrive with a concurrent solution.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. SD with concurrent web crawler
2. Concurrency coding round to code a concurrent web crawler
I had a screening call where the recruiter appeared to be conducting the interview from a coffee shop, with noticeable background noise and distractions throughout. This made it difficult to stay engaged and gave the impression that the interview was not being conducted seriously.
