System Design Interviews: Ace the FAANG Rounds

About Course

System Design Interviews are a critical component of FAANG and top tech company interviews. This course demystifies system design by providing you with practical frameworks, real-world scalable system case studies, and clear problem-solving strategies to confidently ace your FAANG system design rounds.

Whether you’re preparing for SDE-II, Senior Engineer, or Architect interviews, this course equips you with the essential skills to design high-scale, low-latency systems with clear articulation, structured thinking, and confidence.

A proven framework to confidently approach any system design interview question.
How to design scalable, fault-tolerant, high-availability systems under interview pressure.
Real-world design of URL shorteners, scalable chat apps, video streaming platforms, and ride-sharing systems.
Load balancing, caching, sharding, and database design for practical interviews.
API design and data modeling aligned with real product requirements.
Trade-off analysis to impress interviewers with clear communication.
Strategies to handle vague or open-ended questions confidently.
Diagramming skills for whiteboard and online interviews.
CAP Theorem, consistency models, and distributed systems essentials.
How to think and speak like a senior engineer during interviews.
