Zomato Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Jun 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I got pulled into Zomato’s interview for the SDE-1 UI track after cold emailing a recruiter and getting a response.

The whole process centered on design, and it was more of a front-end architecture conversation than a coding test.

The main prompt was to design a Google Calendar. I had to walk through the architecture and how data would flow, including event management, what happens when events are updated, and how I would think about scalability. The interviewer also wanted me to describe user interactions clearly—how users would navigate, create, and interact with calendar events—and tie those behaviors back to the frontend design decisions.

The other parts of the discussion reinforced the same theme:
