Nevada Staffing Software Engineer interview: Python, RAG, and AI focus
My process began with a recruiter call, then my profile was selected for a formal interview stage. The role description centered on Python, retrieval-augmented generation, and AI, and the interviews followed that technical direction. I had two technical rounds where I needed to connect my experience to that stack. The pressure was real, and I did not reach an offer. Location: Fremont, CA. Overall…

After recruiter contact, I submitted a take-home test and then interviewed. The first question was about a gasket and an L bracket compressing an L gasket. It sounded simple, but I overthought the tolerances and missed the correct limit. In a second pass through the technical loop, the tone itself made things harder.

Find version gaps and relay lag with window functions
outbox_event holds event_id, aggregate_type, aggregate_id, aggregate_version, event_type, payload, status ('pending','published','dead'), attempts, created_at, published_at. A projection is missing rows and you must decide whether the relay skipped events or the consumer dropped them. Write three queries over the last seven days: one listing every aggregate_id whose published aggregate_version sequence has a hole, one giving per-day counts with a running total, and one returning the newest published event per aggregate. For each, say where the window function is evaluated relative to WHERE and LIMIT. PostgreSQL 16.
Approach
- Gaps: compute lead(aggregate_version) OVER (PARTITION BY aggregate_id ORDER BY aggregate_version) in a subquery, then filter next_version <> aggregate_version + 1 in the outer query. Window functions are evaluated after WHERE, GROUP BY and HAVING and before the outer ORDER BY and LIMIT, so the predicate cannot sit in the same WHERE clause and PostgreSQL 16 has no QUALIFY.
- Say what the seven-day filter does to the answer: it truncates every partition, so the first row per aggregate has no predecessor inside the window and a hole spanning the boundary is invisible. Widen the window, or join to resource.version as the authority for the true maximum.
- Running total: SELECT date_trunc('day', created_at) AS d, count() AS n, sum(count()) OVER (ORDER BY date_trunc('day', created_at) ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING). An aggregate inside a window call is legal because grouping runs before windowing. The grouping key is unique per row here so ROWS and RANGE agree, but write the frame anyway — over ungrouped rows with tied timestamps the default RANGE frame pulls in every peer row and the total jumps.
- Newest per aggregate: DISTINCT ON (aggregate_id) ... ORDER BY aggregate_id, aggregate_version DESC is the cheap PostgreSQL-only form when an index matches that order; row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY aggregate_id ORDER BY aggregate_version DESC) = 1 is the portable form and needs a subquery for the same evaluation-order reason as the gap query.
Follow-up
- Relay failover redelivers events. Does a duplicate break the gap query, and how would you detect one from this table alone?
- Turn the gap check into a continuous monitor rather than a query someone runs after an incident. What does it watch?
Hold a per-tenant active cap against concurrent creates
A tenant on the standard plan may hold at most 50 resources with status='active'. The create handler runs SELECT count(*) FROM resource WHERE tenant_id = $1 AND status = 'active', compares to 50, then inserts. Two creates arrive 3 ms apart on different instances and the tenant lands at 51. Name the anomaly, say whether PostgreSQL 16 READ COMMITTED or REPEATABLE READ prevents it and why, then give an implementation that holds the cap at READ COMMITTED with the exact statements. Finally, say what changes when the cap is 'at most one running export per tenant' on job_run.
Approach
- Name it: write skew. The two transactions read an overlapping set and write disjoint rows, so there is no row-level conflict for the engine to detect and each commit is individually legal.
- Rule out the levels precisely. READ COMMITTED takes a fresh snapshot per statement and takes no lock on the counted rows, so both see 49. PostgreSQL's REPEATABLE READ is snapshot isolation: it removes non-repeatable reads and phantoms within the snapshot but still admits write skew, because the anomaly is not a re-read of a changed row, it is a read of a set that a concurrent transaction invalidates. Only SERIALIZABLE closes it, by tracking the read dependency and aborting one transaction with SQLSTATE 40001 — a guarantee that exists only if the application re-runs the whole transaction from the read.
- Convert the set predicate into a single-row conflict: keep tenant.active_resource_count and run UPDATE tenant SET active_resource_count = active_resource_count + 1 WHERE tenant_id = $1 AND active_resource_count < 50 in the same transaction as the INSERT. Zero affected rows is the cap, returned as 409. The row lock serialises the decision at any isolation level, and contention is bounded to one tenant's row — which is also the fair-scheduling unit, unlike a global counter that would convoy every tenant behind one row.
- State the cost you just took on: a counter is a second source of truth that can drift, so every path that changes status must adjust it inside the same transaction, and a periodic reconciliation has to exist, with resource_revision as the authority for what the count should have been.
Follow-up
- A resource moves from archived back to active. Which statements change, and what breaks if the counter update and the status change land in different transactions?
- The cap becomes plan-dependent and a plan can change mid-month. Where does the number 50 live, and who reads it?

p99 jumped on one listing filter while p50 stayed flat
After a release that added an owner_user_id filter to the resource listing, p99 rose from 90 ms to 1.9 s while p50 stayed at 40 ms. Traffic and row counts are unchanged. resource carries the index (tenant_id, status, updated_at DESC, resource_id DESC). The new query filters tenant_id and owner_user_id, orders by updated_at DESC, resource_id DESC, and takes 20 rows. On PostgreSQL, explain the shape of the regression, prove it from a query plan, and give the index you would add.
Approach
- Start from the shape. A flat p50 with a moved p99 means a subset of requests changed cost, not all of them, so the first job is naming the subset. Bucket the endpoint's latency by the tenant's row count; the natural hypothesis is that large tenants are a small share of requests and all of the tail.
- Get the plan for the new query on a large tenant with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS). Expect an index scan over the tenant's range, a filter discarding most of it, then a Sort feeding the Limit, possibly reporting Sort Method: external merge Disk. Read actual rows on the scan node, not estimated.
- Explain why the existing index cannot serve it. A composite B-tree is seekable only as a left prefix, and with no equality predicate on status the scan cannot treat updated_at as an ordering, because rows in the tenant's range are ordered by status first. Everything matching must be read and sorted before LIMIT 20 can apply, so a tenant with 400,000 rows pays 400,000 rows to return 20.
- Add (tenant_id, owner_user_id, updated_at DESC, resource_id DESC). Equality on the first two columns leaves the index ordered by updated_at within that pair, so the plan becomes an index scan that stops after 20 rows with no Sort node. PostgreSQL can scan a B-tree backwards, so the DESC markers matter only if the two sort columns ever disagree in direction; keeping them explicit documents the order the keyset cursor depends on.
Follow-up
- The endpoint paginates with OFFSET. What does page 500 cost with your index, and what does the keyset version cost?
- How would you have caught this before release, given that a 10,000-row seed database produces the same plan shape at an unnoticeable cost?
