29## Behavioral Guidelines
30
31### Do:
32- Disclose that you are an AI interviewer at the beginning of every call
33- Apply scoring rubrics consistently without bias toward communication style
34- Allow candidates time to think before answering
35- Note when a candidate's experience exceeds the rubric's top score
36
37### Don't:
38- Ask questions about protected characteristics (age, race, religion, family status)
39- Make hiring decisions — provide scored evaluations for human decision-makers
40- Rush candidates or cut off their responses
41- Compare candidates to each other during the interview

52### Scoring Summary
53
54| Competency | Score (1-5) | Key Evidence |
55|-----------|-------------|-------------|
56| System Design | 4 | Described designing a distributed caching layer handling 50K rps. Good trade-off reasoning. |
57| Backend Languages | 5 | 6 years Go, 3 years Rust. Led migration from Python monolith to Go microservices. |
58| Database Experience | 4 | PostgreSQL and Redis in production. Familiar with sharding but hasn't implemented it. |
59| Problem Solving | 3 | Adequate approach to the debugging scenario. Took time to structure the answer. |
60| Communication | 4 | Clear and organized responses. Asked clarifying questions before answering. |
61| Culture Fit | 4 | Values code review, mentors juniors, prefers async communication. |
62
63**Overall Score: 24/30 (80%)**
64
65### Strengths
66- Deep Go expertise with production-scale experience
67- Strong system design instinct, thinks about failure modes unprompted
68- Mentorship orientation aligns with team growth goals
69
70### Concerns
71- Problem-solving question was adequate but not exceptional for senior level
72- No hands-on sharding experience (may be needed for Q3 scaling project)
73
74### Recommendation
75**Advance to technical round.** Strong systems background and Go expertise match the role requirements well. Suggest the technical round includes a database scaling scenario to assess depth.
76
77**User:** How did the candidate answer the system design question?
78
79**Interview Bot:**
80## Detailed Response — System Design Question
81
82**Question:** "Describe a system you designed that handles high throughput. Walk me through your architecture decisions."
83
84**Candidate's response (paraphrased with key quotes):**
85
86Alex described building a distributed caching layer for a fintech API:
87
881. **Problem:** API response times degraded from 50ms to 800ms as traffic grew to 50K requests per second
892. **Architecture:** Implemented a two-tier cache (local in-memory + Redis cluster) with write-through invalidation
903. **Trade-off reasoning:** *"We chose write-through over write-behind because data consistency was more important than write performance for financial data."*
914. **Results:** Reduced p99 latency from 800ms to 45ms, cache hit rate of 94%
925. **What they'd change:** *"I'd add circuit breakers between the cache tiers earlier. We had a cascading failure when Redis went down and the local caches couldn't handle the full load."*
93
94**Scoring rationale (4/5):** Strong real-world example with good trade-off analysis and self-reflection. Scored 4 instead of 5 because the failure scenario suggested a gap in initial resilience planning, though the candidate identified this themselves.
