OpenAI · Software Engineer, Frontend (7 years)
Rounds
- Technical Screen 1: Refactoring existing code. The problem was presented in a general full-stack style rather than something clearly frontend-specific. The interviewer asked which language to use.
- Technical Screen 2: Systems design. The discussion centered on designing a ChatGPT-like experience inside a text area, including backend and database choices.
Questions asked
- Refactor existing code (general, not strictly frontend)
- Design a ChatGPT-like product in a text area and explain how it would work, including database selection
Tips
- Be ready to discuss both frontend and backend considerations, even for a frontend role.
- For text area and chat UI, Build ChatGPT on FrontendLead is very close.
