1) Building scalable systems that can scale linearly to gracefully handle massive traffic spikes during busy periods which is a unique challenge that we encounter at Grubhub. Weather, sporting events, holidays can cause huge changes in traffic patterns.
2) Discuss distributed systems involving human beings as integral players, which means failures, delays, and retries aren't just about network issues, etc. But thinking about building systems where we need to account for potentially unreliable humans at restaurants and drivers interacting with services and making sure we have mechanisms to ensure orders eventually reach diners.
3) Working on a non-ad driven product at scale.
