I have an Uber SDE2 phone screen next week. The invite confirms it's via
HackerRank and lists the focus as "Coding + Design & Architecture (D&A)." Since it’s on HackerRank but mentions "Architecture," I'm trying to check what the format would be: Is this a standard
LeetCode DSA round (Medium/Hard)? Or is it a
Machine Coding / LLD round (e.g., implementing a Rate Limiter or Parking Lot)? For SDE2, how heavily should I focus on concurrency/thread safety during this specific screen? If anyone has gone through the Uber SDE2 loop in 2025/2026, I’d love to know what the "D&A" portion actually looked like for you. Thanks! My recruiter is from an external agency and isn't reverting to my emails, so I'm hoping to get some clarity here.
