Description For Sr. SDE, Kuiper Secure Communications Team

Project Kuiper is Amazon's ambitious initiative to launch a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide fast, affordable broadband access to unserved and underserved communities worldwide. The Secure Communications Team plays a crucial role in ensuring secure communication between critical satellite functions. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll work on developing embedded software, focusing on low-level programming including device drivers, Linux kernel modules, and porting software to new embedded systems. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, participate in all development phases, and help solve complex challenges in space-based systems design. The role offers competitive compensation based on location ($151,300-$261,500), plus equity and comprehensive benefits. This position requires expertise in C++ and Rust programming, embedded systems, and secure software development. The role is based in Redmond, WA, and requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control regulations. Join Amazon's innovative space technology team and help bridge the global digital divide through cutting-edge satellite technology.

What are the time complexities of quicksort, mergesort, and other sorting algorithms?

Data Structures & AlgorithmsMedium

What are the time complexities of different sorting algorithms, such as quicksort and mergesort? Explain the best, average, and worst-case scenarios for each, and provide examples of when you might choose one algorithm over another. Additionally, discuss the space complexity of each algorithm.

How would you implement a service like Twitter?

System DesignHard

Let's design a Twitter-like service. Consider the following: Core Functionality: How would you implement the ability for users to post tweets, follow other users, and view a timeline of tweets from the users they follow? Data Model: What database schema would you use to store tweets, user information, and follower relationships? Consider scalability and efficiency for reads and writes. Scalability: How would you handle a large number of users and tweets? Discuss strategies for sharding, caching, and load balancing. Real-time Updates: How would you ensure that users see new tweets in their timeline in near real-time? Consider using technologies like WebSockets or Server-Sent Events. Search: How would you implement a search feature that allows users to find tweets containing specific keywords or hashtags? Think about indexing strategies and search algorithms. Rate Limiting: How would you prevent abuse and ensure fair usage of the service? Describe your approach to rate limiting API requests. Example Scenario: Imagine a user, Alice, follows 1,000 other users, including Bob. Bob posts a tweet. Explain how that tweet would propagate to Alice's timeline, considering potential performance bottlenecks. Technology Stack: What technologies (programming languages, frameworks, databases, etc.) would you choose and why?
