THE 60-SECOND BRIEF

A Software Engineer at Reveleer plays a vital role in advancing the company’s mission to transform the healthcare landscape through data-driven technology. By building and maintaining the platforms that support complex healthcare operations, you contribute directly to the efficiency of quality improvement programs and risk adjustment efforts. Your work involves translating clinical and operational requirements into scalable, reliable software solutions.

For a design discussion, a catalogue of architectures is worth less than the ability to turn a vague requirement into a data model and an API contract. A box diagram with no schema under it collapses at the first follow-up question.

A Software Engineer at Reveleer plays a vital role in advancing the company’s mission to transform the healthcare landscape through data-driven technology. By building and maintaining the platforms that support complex healthcare operations, you contribute directly to the efficiency of quality improvement programs and risk adjustment efforts. Your work involves translating clinical and operational requirements into scalable, reliable software solutions.

This role is uniquely positioned at the intersection of healthcare informatics and modern software engineering. You will be tasked with solving problems that require both technical precision and an understanding of the healthcare data ecosystem. Because Reveleer operates in a highly regulated and high-stakes industry, your contributions ensure that the software remains performant, secure, and accurate for the healthcare providers and payers who rely on it daily.

Be prepared to discuss how your technical background translates into solving domain-specific problems, particularly those involving data accuracy and performance optimization in a healthcare context.

Recruiter Screening

reported

Half of this call is the part candidates treat as small talk: start date, notice period, work authorisation and its timing, location and time zone, on-call, and the number. Those are what kill offers late, after several engineers have each spent a day. Surfacing a hard constraint now costs you nothing and occasionally buys you something, since a loop compressed to fit a competing deadline can usually only be arranged if it is asked for early. The common failure is deflecting the compensation question twice, then discovering at offer stage that the band never reached your number.

What to demonstrate

  • Whether your hard constraints are compatible with the role before a loop gets booked: earliest start, notice period, what authorisation you hold and when it needs action, days on site, willingness to carry a pager
  • Whether you give a compensation range with something behind it, such as current total compensation or a competing timeline, rather than leaving the band untested
  • Whether your stated timeline is real, since a competing deadline raised now is something scheduling can sometimes work around and the same deadline raised at offer stage usually is not

How to prepare

  • Write each constraint down in one line before the call and state them as facts rather than negotiating them live under a question you were not expecting
  • Set your range from two or three current data points for that level and location, and name the structure you are quoting in, so the number is comparable to the one they are holding
  • If another process is running, say where it stands and by when, and ask directly whether this loop can be scheduled inside that window

Technical Interviews

reported

Input bounds are the part of the prompt most often skimmed, and they usually contain the answer. They tell you which complexity class is admissible, which narrows the search before you have thought about the problem itself. As a rough planning figure, a compiled language does on the order of 10^8 simple operations per second and an interpreted one roughly an order of magnitude less. So n up to about twenty admits enumerating subsets, a few thousand admits a quadratic pass, and a million admits neither: you need near-linear, or linear with a log factor. If the bounds are missing, ask for them.

What to demonstrate

  • Whether the approach is justified by the stated input size rather than by whichever pattern you recognised first
  • Whether you ask about the properties that change the algorithm: whether the input arrives sorted, whether duplicates occur, whether values are bounded integers, whether it all fits in memory
  • Whether you can name the bottleneck in your own solution and what would remove it, even when you deliberately leave it in place
  • Whether a claimed speedup is real, since memoising a recursion only helps when subproblems genuinely overlap and the state can be keyed cheaply

How to prepare

  • For each algorithm you rely on, write down the largest n it handles in roughly a second, then check two of those figures by timing them in the language you will actually type in
  • For two weeks, write one line naming your target complexity and the bound that justifies it before you write any code, then compare that line with what you ended up submitting
  • Practise the conversion backwards: given a required O(n log n), list the mechanisms that get you there (sorting, a heap, an ordered map, divide and conquer) and choose by what the problem needs to query, not by what you used last

PracHub editorial advice for the preparation topics above.

01

Treating a medical record number or a member ID as a globally unique key and joining on it directly.

These identifiers are unique only within the authority that issued them. Two facilities in one network routinely have the same medical record number for different people, and member IDs get reissued when someone changes plans. Joining on the bare value merges two patients' records, which is the most damaging failure available in this domain, and it passes every test written against a single-facility fixture because the collision only appears once a second source is connected.

02

Writing the access audit record inside the read transaction, or firing it off after the response with no durability.

Inside the transaction, an audit-store outage blocks clinical reads and turns a logging dependency into a care outage. Fire-and-forget afterwards means the audit trail is incomplete during precisely the incidents it exists to reconstruct, and the gaps are invisible until someone asks for the log. The usual resolution is committing the access decision and its audit row together to a local outbox and shipping asynchronously, which keeps the read path available while preserving durability.

03

A cache with no invalidation story

Say how an entry goes stale, how long you can serve it stale, and what happens when many requests miss the same key at the same instant. One popular key expiring under load sends every concurrent request to the origin together; single-flight coalescing, jittered expiry, or serving stale while revalidating are the standard answers.

04

Assuming the input fits in memory

Ask how large the input is in bytes before committing to an in-memory algorithm; beyond that point the options are a single streaming pass, an external sort with bounded buffers, or a sketch that trades exactness for constant memory. An algorithm that assumes random access to the whole input is a different algorithm from one that sees each element once.

Flag a requester reading too many distinct charts per window

medium
sliding windowtwo pointersdistinct count

You consume access-audit records (event_ts, requester_id, enterprise_person_id, purpose_of_use, break_glass) at tens of thousands per second, non-decreasing in event_ts. For each requester, emit an alert the first time any sliding 600-second window contains reads of more than D distinct enterprise_person_ids. Break-glass reads count toward the window and are also reported separately. Return (requester_id, window_start_ts, distinct_count). Target O(1) amortised per event and memory proportional to the events resident in the window, not to the day.

Approach
  1. Per requester, hold a deque of (event_ts, person_id) and a hash map from person_id to its occurrence count inside the window, plus a running distinct counter. Push on the right; while the front is older than event_ts minus 600 seconds, pop it, decrement its count and erase the key when the count reaches zero, decrementing the distinct counter. Each event is pushed once and popped once, so the amortised cost is O(1) and the memory is O(W) for window occupancy W.
  2. Test the threshold immediately after each push and nowhere else. Between two consecutive events the window can only lose members as its left edge advances, so the maximum distinct count over all window positions is attained at a position whose right edge is an event. Checking at pushes is therefore exhaustive rather than a sampling approximation.
  3. Latch the alert per requester and re-arm only when the distinct count falls back below D, otherwise one busy stretch emits thousands of near-identical rows and the real signal is buried by its own volume.
  4. Bound memory both per requester and globally. A requester whose window legitimately holds tens of thousands of reads must not hold the process hostage, so cap the deque and degrade above the cap to an approximate distinct counter such as HyperLogLog, stating the error you accept in exchange.
  5. Count break-glass toward the window but carry it in its own output field. Break-glass has to succeed during an emergency, which is exactly why it must be the most visible path in the audit, and excluding it from the count would make the abuse route the quiet one.
  6. State the precondition: this is correct only while input is non-decreasing in event_ts. Out-of-order arrival needs a bounded-lateness buffer and a watermark, and dropping late events without a counter is the failure that hides itself.
Follow-up
  • One region's events arrive up to 90 seconds late. What buffer do you add, and what does that do to alert latency?
  • One person uses two requester accounts. What has to change in the key, and what new false positive does that introduce?
  • How do you restore window state after a process restart without replaying the whole day?

Flatten overlapping coverage spans into a primary-payer timeline

mediumWorked solution
sweep lineintervalsbitemporal

For one enterprise_person_id you hold up to 10,000 coverage_span rows: coverage_id, payer_id, plan_id, effective_date, termination_date (null means open-ended), coverage_order (1 is primary), status, valid_from and valid_to (system time). Given a system instant T and a date range D0 to D1, return disjoint business-date intervals covering that range, each labelled with the active coverage_id of lowest coverage_order, and with uncovered stretches returned explicitly. termination_date is the last covered day. Only status active counts. Target O(N log N) time, O(N) space.

Approach
  1. Apply the system-time slice before any interval logic: keep rows where valid_from is at or before T and valid_to is after T. That single predicate is what makes the answer 'what we believed at T' rather than 'what we believe now', and a retroactive termination loaded after T leaks straight into the output if you skip it.
  2. Convert each surviving row to a half-open day interval from effective_date up to termination_date plus one day, using positive infinity for a null termination. Half-open removes every off-by-one at the join between a termination and the next plan's effective date, which is where same-day switches get turned into false gaps.
  3. Sweep: emit 2N boundary events, sort by date in O(N log N), and hold the active set in a min-heap keyed by (coverage_order, coverage_id) with lazy deletion, popping the top while it has already expired at the current boundary. Each coverage is pushed once and popped once, so the sweep is O(N log N) total and O(N) space.
  4. Emit an output interval whenever the heap top changes between consecutive boundaries, and emit an explicit uncovered interval when the heap empties. A gap reported as a gap is a different answer from a gap omitted, and downstream the difference is a denial versus a silent assumption of coverage.
  5. Fix the tie-break and state it: lowest coverage_order, then lowest coverage_id. Two rows at order 1 is a data error, and without a deterministic rule the coordination-of-benefits answer changes between two runs over identical data.
  6. Clip to D0 and D1 last, so a coverage that starts before D0 still contributes its correct order inside the window.
Worked solution 30 min
  1. Filter to rows live at T, then map each to a half-open interval and a (coverage_order, coverage_id) priority.
  2. Build the boundary list, sort it, and sweep with a lazily-deleted min-heap.
  3. At each boundary, drop expired heap tops and compare the new top to the previous one, emitting an interval on change.
  4. Emit an uncovered interval whenever the heap is empty between two boundaries.
  5. Clip the emitted list to D0 through D1 and assert the intervals are disjoint and contiguous.
EXPECTED RESULTWindow 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31 with three live rows: coverage 1 at order 1 effective 01-01 terminating 06-30, coverage 2 at order 2 effective 03-01 open-ended, coverage 3 at order 1 effective 09-01 open-ended. Output is three intervals: 01-01 to 06-30 labelled coverage 1, 07-01 to 08-31 labelled coverage 2, 09-01 to 12-31 labelled coverage 3, with no gaps. Delete coverage 2 and the middle interval becomes an explicit uncovered stretch of 07-01 to 08-31.
Follow-up
  • Run the same query at two system instants and diff the timelines. What did the correction change, and what does each extra instant cost you?
  • A termination arrives with an effective date earlier than the service date of a claim that already adjudicated and paid. What does the timeline now say, and what has to happen to that claim?
  • Two enrolment files disagree on coverage_order for a dependent. What does your tie-break do, and what should the system do instead of tie-breaking?

Sum surviving claim versions in one pass over unordered lines

easy
hash mapversioningstreaming aggregation

You are streamed up to 50 million claim_line records in arbitrary order: claim_id, claim_version, line_number, frequency_code (original, replacement, void), enterprise_person_id, allowed_amount_cents. Every version of a claim shares its claim_id, and a replacement arrives as a higher claim_version. Return total allowed_amount_cents per enterprise_person_id, counting each claim once at its highest version and contributing zero when that version is a void. Amounts are non-negative int64 minor units. Target O(N) time and O(C) space for C distinct claims, single pass, no sort.

Approach
  1. Say the two grains out loud before writing anything: the version lives at claim grain, the money lives at line grain. Every wrong answer here comes from applying a claim-level rule with a line-level filter.
  2. Keep one hash map from claim_id to a small record (best_version, sum_cents, person_id, is_void). Per line: if claim_version is greater than best_version, reset sum_cents to this line's amount and overwrite the person and void flag; if equal, add to it; if lower, discard the line. That reset is what makes the pass order-independent, so a replacement arriving before its original still wins.
  3. Resolve the void at the end, not at ingest. A void only nullifies the claim if it is the surviving version, and zeroing on sight would let an earlier replacement that arrives later resurrect the money.
  4. Fold the C claim records into a person-keyed map in a second phase, O(C). Do not accumulate into the person total during the stream: you cannot subtract a superseded version you have already forgotten.
  5. Cost is O(N) time, O(C) space. The sort-based alternative, group by (claim_id, claim_version) and keep the max, is O(N log N) and needs the set resident; prefer it only when C approaches N and the map will not fit.
  6. Keep cents in int64 throughout. Fifty million lines at a realistic per-line ceiling stay four orders of magnitude below 2^63, so the integer type costs nothing and removes the float drift class entirely.
Follow-up
  • You shard the stream across eight workers. Sharding by hash of claim_id works; what exactly breaks if you shard by enterprise_person_id instead?
  • A replacement arrives for a claim_id whose original never appears in the batch. What does your map produce, and is that the financially correct answer or a reconciliation break?
  • The same claim_id is reused by two different submitting organisations. How does the key have to change, and when would you have noticed?

Roughly ninety minutes on weeknights with one longer weekend block. The plan cuts scope rather than compressing everything, on the assumption that one thing finished per night beats four half-started.

Small steps. Visible outcomes.0 / 7 completed
ONE WEEK · YOUR PACE

Prepare, practise & reflect

One practical outcome each day. Spend longer where you need it.

0 / 7 done
01Fix the scope and take a cold baseline
  • Read the role description and write the three things the loop will almost certainly test, then write an explicit not-doing list and keep it visible all week.
  • Take one twenty-five-minute coding problem and one fifteen-minute design prompt cold, and write the single sentence naming what blocked each, because those two sentences decide where the remaining evenings go.
  • Set the week's rule: one thing finished every night, including the night you only have forty minutes.

Deliverable: A one-page scope with a not-doing list and two cold attempts, each carrying one sentence on what blocked it.

Practice prompt ↗Practice prompt ↗Worked solution ↗
02One pattern, written three times from blank
  • Choose the single pattern most likely to appear in your loop and write it three times from an empty file rather than editing the previous attempt.
  • On the third pass, write the invariant as a comment before the loop body and the complexity before the first line of code.
  • Stop at ninety minutes even if the third version is imperfect, and write the one thing you would fix given another hour.

Deliverable: Three independent implementations of the same pattern plus a note on what changed between them.

Practice prompt ↗Practice prompt ↗
03One design, only to the depth you can defend
  • Take one system shape and go only as far as requirements, interface and data model, refusing to draw a box you could not survive a follow-up about.
  • Attach one number to each non-functional requirement, deriving it rather than asserting it, and write the assumption the number rests on.
  • Write the one tradeoff you are choosing against and the observation that would make you reverse it.

Deliverable: One design at interface-and-schema depth with derived numbers and one written reversible tradeoff.

Practice prompt ↗Practice prompt ↗
04Only the fundamentals you will have to defend
  • Write, in under two hundred words each, the answers to the two questions that follow almost any implementation: why this structure and not the obvious alternative, and what happens to this code at a hundred times the input.
  • Write what an index actually costs: faster lookups on the indexed columns against a write that now maintains a second structure, plus the cases where the planner declines to use it anyway, low selectivity, or a predicate wrapping the column in a function.
  • Delete any answer you cannot deliver aloud in under a minute, since an answer that needs reading is not an answer you have.

Deliverable: Three written answers, each under two hundred words and each timed aloud.

Practice prompt ↗Practice prompt ↗Worked solution ↗
05Your own work, timed
  • Write a ninety-second and a four-minute version of your main project and time both aloud rather than reading them.
  • Prepare the two follow-ups that always come: what you would do differently, and how you knew it worked.
  • Put one number in the first sentence and be ready to say exactly where it came from and what it excludes.

Deliverable: Two timed narratives with one defensible number in the opening line.

Practice prompt ↗Practice prompt ↗
06The one full rehearsal, in the weekend block
  • Run a sixty-minute mock covering a coding round and a design round in one sitting with no break, because sustained attention is the thing evenings have not trained.
  • Immediately afterwards, and before hearing any feedback, write the three moments you lost the thread.
  • Spend the rest of the block only on those three moments, and on nothing you merely feel shaky about.

Deliverable: Mock notes naming three failure moments with a specific fix written under each.

Practice prompt ↗Practice prompt ↗
07Taper
  • Write the twenty-minute warm-up you will actually do on the morning: one problem you can already solve from a blank file, one design you can narrate, and nothing you have never seen.
  • Re-read only your own notes from this week and open no new material.
  • Write the logistics down: the editor or shared document you will be working in, whether execution and lookups are permitted, and the sentence you will use when you do not know something.

Deliverable: A one-page card holding the design structure, the project numbers, and the logistics.

Expand any day for tasks and deliverables. Your progress is saved on this device.

A migration is a cost you chose to pay, not an achievement. The story is what the old system made expensive, what you measured before committing, what kept serving traffic during the cutover, and what you would have done if the numbers had come back flat. Without those, a rewrite reads as taste.
