What best practices do you follow?I have built several RESTful APIs using Python frameworks like Flask and FastAPI. I follow best practices such as versioning, using proper HTTP status codes, implementing authentication (e.g., JWT), and ensuring idempotency for safe operations.How do you handle database performance optimization in a production environment?I focus on indexing, query optimization, and using connection pooling. I regularly analyze slow queries with tools like EXPLAIN and use caching strategies like Redis to reduce load.Can you walk us through a time you had to troubleshoot a production issue? What was your approach?Once, a service went down due to a memory leak. I first checked logs and monitoring dashboards, then reproduced the issue in a staging environment. I identified the root cause as an unclosed database connection and applied a fix with proper resource cleanup.Explain your experience with version control and collaboration workflows like Git flow.I have used Git for over 5 years, following a Git flow branching model with feature branches, develop and master branches. I regularly perform code reviews via pull requests and ensure commits are atomic and well-documented.How do you integrate third-party APIs and handle their limitations or rate limits?I design the integration with retry logic, exponential backoff, and queue mechanisms for rate-limited APIs. I also monitor API usage and have implemented fallback systems to ensure robustness. ## Company Description NBCUniversal is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies.
