Non-Functional Requirements in System Design Interviews by Ex Meta & Microsoft Engineer

Non-functional requirements are what separate a good system design interview from a great one. Before diving into databases, APIs, or architecture, experienced engineers define the performance and reliability goals of the system.

In this video, I ,a former Meta and Microsoft engineer and a Y Combinator alumnus, talk about how to approach non-functional requirements in system design interviews.

We cover:
• What non-functional requirements are
• Scalability and throughput
• Availability and reliability
• Latency and response time
• Consistency and durability
• Fault tolerance and disaster recovery
• Security and privacy considerations
• Common interview mistakes
• How to ask clarifying questions
• Real-world examples from Big Tech interviews

If you’re preparing for software engineering interviews at Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or fast-growing startups, understanding non-functional requirements is essential for success.
