The TC vs stability tradeoff is real. Depends on where you are in your career and what you're optimizing for.

The distributed job scheduler SD with consensus protocols is genuinely hard. Which consensus model did you go with?

Raft for leader election, then discussed tradeoffs against Paxos. Interviewer seemed to like the reasoning.

What team is this for? Cloud infra or something on the DB side?

Cloud infra. DB side interviews are apparently different. Less systems depth, more product.
