Applied via a link on their site.
After a long time with no response, I got an email telling me to build a project for them and submit for review.
No response or feedback was ever received afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No questions, just this project.
Instructions
Read the user story presented below, complete at least two of the three exercises, and follow the submission instructions to send us your work. All submissions should include an API design (Exercise #1) plus either a backend implementation (#2A) or frontend implementation (#2B).
User Story
Jane is working on a feature to save settings for a game, and would like these settings to be stored in the cloud so they can also be managed via a separate web interface. The game settings data will only consist of key/value pairs (KVPs), where keys can be arbitrary strings (within character set [az09.]) and values can only be simple primitive types (string, number, boolean, and null). Additionally, she would like the ability to organize settings into logical groups (e.g. “difficulty”) and create variations of each group without having to duplicate data (e.g. “easy”, “hard”). For instance, a key of “maxEnemyCount” in the “difficulty” group would automatically be inherited by subgroups “easy” and “hard”, and could be optionally overridden in each.
Exercise #1 - API Design
Design a REST API that meets the design requirements of the user story. Give example request and responses for each route.
API spec should contain whatever features you feel are most important, but must at least have routes specified for the following functions:
Create and list settings groups
Retrieve all KVPs for a settings group
Modify and delete individual KVPs
Exercise #2A - Backend Implementation
Implement a working RESTful HTTP backend for the API designed in Exercise #1
Functionality should at least cover the minimum feature set specified in Exercise #1
The API content format should be JSON
The backend does not have to be hosted, but must work against calls from localhost.
Exercise #2B - Frontend Implementation
Implement a basic management website for your API that meets the design requirements of the user story.
Hardcoded sample data is acceptable to demonstrate the website.
Be prepared to discuss how your implementation facilitates iteration with a visual designer.
General Guidelines
Ruby, Javascript, and C# are the primary languages used on our current projects, but you are free to use whatever language you would like.
Feel free to use any frameworks or libraries you like, as long as they are not restricted for commercial use.
Include a README in your source code with at least the following:
Your API spec, or a link to an external page with the spec (e.g. apiary.io)
Instructions for launching and testing your API or website locally
Any other notes you think would be helpful for us while evaluating your work
Thank you for your thorough review of the project and your interview experience. We strive to provide an excellent candidate experience and are continually reviewing best practices with our recruiting team.
Other Software Developer interview reviews for Unity
Ask the project you did. Basically focus on what you did
Ask you how you help other people. You manner.
With shared screen code interview.
That is all what I can say.
Interview process typically includes application screening, initial HR call, technical or skill assessments, one or more interviews with managers or panels, and final evaluation leading to offer or rejection decision.
The interview process was thoughtful and engaging. The design question and home application task, covering both backend and frontend, were well-structured, challenging, and provided a great way to showcase real-world skills.
