Lyft Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Jumping into the technical phone screen, I was pleasantly surprised when the interviewer asked me to design a driver-rider matching service, something I had just practiced in-depth on PracHub. The prep I did really paid off, as I navigated the complexities of indexing live driver locations and addressing high write rates with confidence. The full virtual onsite included two coding rounds and a system design question, along with behavioral interviews. While I appreciated the opportunity, I ultimately declined the offer for different reasons unrelated to the team. The overall experience was intense but rewarding.
