Verkada – Frontend Engineer Interview Experience

Had a frontend coding round where the prompt was to build a small UI that cobbles data data from two different APIs .

The UI needed to render a list of cards, each card showing an image thumbnail. The interaction requirement was that when you hover over the image, the card should start playing a video and the video should replace the image. When the mouse leaves, the video stops and the image comes back.

Difficulty felt moderate if you’re comfortable with typical frontend UI work.
