Questions you are likely to be asked

  1. Why do you want to join OKX?
  2. What is your experience with C++? Tell me one thing you learned the hard way.
  3. Walk me through a system you built. How was it designed, and what would you change now?
  4. Tell me about a hard bug you tracked down. How did you find the cause?
  5. How do you decide what to test, and what does good code review look like to you?

Prep Sarthi gives you a free mock interview: an AI interviewer asks you questions like these out loud, from your own CV and this job, and shows your score and your weakest answer.
