Mavenclinic·Backend Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jul 2026

Coding round for a backend engineer role at Mavenclinic. The main problem was a pagination algorithm for provider listings, which sounds deceptively manageable until you get into the edge cases, and then they pushed into complexity analysis and two follow-ups that required pretty different thinking.

Build a function that paginates a pre-sorted list of telehealth provider listings into pages of size 5, ensuring at most one listing per provider per page when possible, preserving original order, and allowing provider repeats only when needed to fill a page.
What is the time and space complexity of your pagination algorithm?
How would you modify the algorithm if high-scoring providers were allowed to appear more than once on the same page?
How would you implement a memory-efficient streaming version of this algorithm for roughly 150 million listings that don't fit in memory?

“The core logic isn't hard to describe but I fumbled the implementation a bit.”

Mavenclinic·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jul 2026

Interviewed for a software engineer role at Mavenclinic and got a scheduling/interval problem with a twist I didn't fully anticipate. Pretty straightforward coding round but the break_time wrinkle added enough complexity to make me second-guess my initial approach.

Given a list of appointment intervals in HHMM format and a mandatory minimum break time between consecutive appointments, write a function that returns true if a person can attend all appointments without overlap or insufficient gaps.

“My first instinct was to sort by start time and check for overlaps, which is the standard interval problem.”

Mavenclinic·Backend Engineer·Onsite - System Design / Architecture

May 2026

System design round at Mavenclinic for a backend engineer role, focused entirely on building a therapist-patient matching marketplace. Dense problem with a lot of moving parts, from search and ranking to booking consistency and HIPAA-adjacent compliance concerns.

Design the backend for a marketplace that matches patients with therapists, covering search, booking, availability, and ranking.
How would you handle search and ranking of therapists for a given patient, considering specialty, insurance, location, language, modality, price, and availability?
How do you prevent double booking and deal with stale availability data?
Walk through the API design for booking, cancellation, and waitlists.
What privacy and compliance considerations apply here, given that this is sensitive health data?
How would you enforce region and licensure constraints so therapists only appear for patients they're legally allowed to treat?
How would you scale this system as the platform grows in users and therapists?

“Big open-ended prompt.”
