Design the job alert function on Google’s career site.
Asked in the onsite system design stage. Clarify the product and ML requirements before proposing an end-to-end design. Address job discovery, alert creation, candidate retrieval, ranking, notification delivery, user preferences, freshness, duplicate suppression, and unsubscribe behavior. Explain the offline and online paths, feature and feedback pipelines, evaluation strategy, latency and availability targets, and failure handling. Since the reported prompt provides no scale figures, state assumptions explicitly and show how you would size the system.
