Mastering the Android System Design Interview

Description

Prepare for and master your mobile system design interview at one of the big FAANG companies, whether it be Google or Apple. Get a detailed walkthrough of several important topics asked in these interviews, and tips and tricks from a Tech Lead of a Google Developer Agency. Stefan started developing Android apps - almost from Android's birth - in 2011, and since then had to design and develop a handful of Android apps. During that time he also walked through system design interviews at FAANG companies by himself and therefore wants to share his experience in this course.

Mobile technical interviews at big tech companies are quite challenging and the mobile system design part is often the most unclear and demanding part. Many learning resources on the Internet cover backend system design, but there are very limited resources available for mobile system design. This course brings light to mobile system design interviews and gets you prepared for landing your dream job at one of the big tech companies. Despite the course being especially targeted at Android, most concepts are also applicable to iOS.
