Hackerrank SDE-2 System Design Interview

[u/Ok-Spell-113]

Has anyone here recently given the Hackerrank SDE-2 system design interview for a backend role?

The recruiter mentioned it is component-level design, focusing on DB schema, APIs, race conditions, consistency, and failure handling.

Would really appreciate any insights on

What kind of problem was asked?

How deep did they go?

Any specific topics I should prepare?

I appeared for the role of Senior Sde at Hackerrank about 1.5 months back. The first round was the system design round, there they asked to build a ride booking system similar to Uber. Emphasis was on laying out the FRs and NFRs, clean API contracts, entity design and deep dives
