Myriad·Software Engineer·Onsite - System Design / Architecture

Jun 2026
Had a system design question at Myriad that was framed around planets of all things. Pretty light on details from what I remember but the core problem was interesting enough.
  • Design the infrastructure needed to query and sort data about planets, such as their sizes, distances from Earth, and similar attributes.

“I went straight to a relational schema with indexed columns for the numeric fields, which felt right.”
