Phone Screen：SQL + 数据建模

电话面由一位 Senior CEID 进行，45 分钟。

题目：销售数据分析

给定以下表结构：

• sales: sale_id, product_id, customer_id, sale_date, quantity, unit_price
• products: product_id, category, subcategory
• customers: customer_id, region, country

请完成以下查询：

1. 计算每个类别的月度销售趋势
2. 找出每个区域的销售冠军
3. 计算客户生命周期价值 (CLV)

我的解答：

-- 1. 月度销售趋势
SELECT 
    p.category,
    FORMAT(s.sale_date, 'yyyy-MM') AS sale_month,
    COUNT(DISTINCT s.sale_id) AS transaction_count,
    SUM(s.quantity) AS total_units,
    SUM(s.quantity * s.unit_price) AS total_revenue,
    AVG(s.quantity * s.unit_price) AS avg_transaction_value
FROM sales s
JOIN products p ON s.product_id = p.product_id
GROUP BY p.category, FORMAT(s.sale_date, 'yyyy-MM')
ORDER BY sale_month, total_revenue DESC;

-- 2. 每个区域的销售冠军
WITH regional_sales AS (
    SELECT
        c.region,
        c.customer_id,
        SUM(s.quantity * s.unit_price) AS total_spent
    FROM sales s
    JOIN customers c ON s.customer_id = c.customer_id
    GROUP BY c.region, c.customer_id
),
ranked AS (
    SELECT
        region,
        customer_id,
        total_spent,
        RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY region ORDER BY total_spent DESC) AS rk
    FROM regional_sales
)
SELECT region, customer_id, total_spent
FROM ranked
WHERE rk = 1;

-- 3. 客户生命周期价值 (CLV)
WITH customer_metrics AS (
    SELECT
        s.customer_id,
        MIN(s.sale_date) AS first_purchase,
        MAX(s.sale_date) AS last_purchase,
        COUNT(DISTINCT s.sale_id) AS total_orders,
        SUM(s.quantity * s.unit_price) AS total_revenue,
        DATEDIFF(day, MIN(s.sale_date), MAX(s.sale_date)) AS customer_lifetime_days
    FROM sales s
    GROUP BY s.customer_id
),
clv_calc AS (
    SELECT
        customer_id,
        total_revenue,
        customer_lifetime_days,
        -- 平均月消费
        total_revenue / NULLIF(customer_lifetime_days / 30.0, 0) AS monthly_value,
        -- 客户留存月数
        customer_lifetime_days / 30.0 AS months_active,
        -- 预测 CLV (简单模型：月价值 × 预测留存月数)
        (total_revenue / NULLIF(customer_lifetime_days / 30.0, 0)) * 
            (customer_lifetime_days / 30.0) AS predicted_clv
    FROM customer_metrics
)
SELECT *
FROM clv_calc
ORDER BY predicted_clv DESC;

VO Round 1：Python + Azure Data Factory

这一轮由一位 Azure Data Factory 团队成员进行，60 分钟。

题目：设计数据管道编排

使用 Azure Data Factory (ADF) 设计一个数据管道，支持：

1. 从多个源系统抽取数据
2. 数据清洗和转换
3. 加载到 Synapse Analytics
4. 支持失败重试和告警

我的 ADF Pipeline 设计：

VO Round 2：Synapse Analytics + 数据仓库

这一轮由一位 Synapse 团队成员进行，60 分钟。

题目：Synapse 数据仓库设计

设计一个 Synapse Analytics 数据仓库，支持：

1. 星型模式建模
2. 增量加载
3. 即席查询
4. 与 Power BI 集成

我的设计：

-- 1. 创建数据库
CREATE DATABASE SalesDW
(EDITION = 'data_warehouse', SERVICE_OBJECTIVE = 'DW100c');

USE SalesDW;

-- 2. 创建维度表
CREATE TABLE dim_date (
    date_key INT PRIMARY KEY,
    full_date DATE,
    year INT,
    quarter INT,
    month INT,
    day_of_week INT,
    is_weekend BIT
)
WITH (
    DISTRIBUTION = HASH(date_key),
    CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE INDEX
);

CREATE TABLE dim_product (
    product_key INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    product_id VARCHAR(50),
    product_name VARCHAR(200),
    category VARCHAR(100),
    subcategory VARCHAR(100),
    brand VARCHAR(100),
    load_date DATETIME2 DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
WITH (
    DISTRIBUTION = HASH(product_key),
    CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE INDEX
);

CREATE TABLE dim_customer (
    customer_key INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    customer_id VARCHAR(50),
    customer_name VARCHAR(200),
    region VARCHAR(100),
    country VARCHAR(100),
    segment VARCHAR(50),
    load_date DATETIME2 DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
WITH (
    DISTRIBUTION = HASH(customer_key),
    CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE INDEX
);

-- 3. 创建事实表
CREATE TABLE fact_sales (
    sale_key BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    date_key INT REFERENCES dim_date(date_key),
    product_key INT REFERENCES dim_product(product_key),
    customer_key INT REFERENCES dim_customer(customer_key),
    quantity INT,
    unit_price DECIMAL(10,2),
    total_amount DECIMAL(12,2),
    discount DECIMAL(5,2) DEFAULT 0,
    load_date DATETIME2 DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
WITH (
    DISTRIBUTION = HASH(customer_key),
    CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE INDEX
);

-- 4. 创建视图用于 Power BI
CREATE VIEW v_sales_summary AS
SELECT 
    d.year,
    d.quarter,
    d.month,
    p.category,
    p.subcategory,
    c.region,
    c.country,
    SUM(f.quantity) AS total_units,
    SUM(f.total_amount) AS total_revenue,
    AVG(f.total_amount) AS avg_transaction_value,
    COUNT(DISTINCT f.customer_key) AS unique_customers
FROM fact_sales f
JOIN dim_date d ON f.date_key = d.date_key
JOIN dim_product p ON f.product_key = p.product_key
JOIN dim_customer c ON f.customer_key = c.customer_key
GROUP BY d.year, d.quarter, d.month, p.category, p.subcategory, c.region, c.country;

-- 5. 增量加载存储过程
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_load_incremental_sales
    @last_load_date DATETIME2
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
    
    -- 使用 MERGE 进行增量加载
    MERGE fact_sales AS target
    USING (
        SELECT 
            sale_id,
            sale_date,
            product_id,
            customer_id,
            quantity,
            unit_price,
            quantity * unit_price AS total_amount,
            ISNULL(discount, 0) AS discount
        FROM staging.stg_sales
        WHERE load_timestamp > @last_load_date
    ) AS source
    ON target.sale_key = source.sale_id
    WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
        INSERT (date_key, product_key, customer_key, quantity, unit_price, total_amount, discount)
        VALUES (
            CAST(FORMAT(source.sale_date, 'yyyyMMdd') AS INT),
            (SELECT product_key FROM dim_product WHERE product_id = source.product_id),
            (SELECT customer_key FROM dim_customer WHERE customer_id = source.customer_id),
            source.quantity,
            source.unit_price,
            source.total_amount,
            source.discount
        );
    
    -- 记录加载时间
    INSERT INTO etl_load_history (table_name, load_date, row_count)
    VALUES ('fact_sales', GETDATE(), @@ROWCOUNT);
END;

多租户数据隔离：

-- 使用 Row-Level Security (RLS)
CREATE SECURITY POLICY tenant_data_policy
ADD FILTER PREDICATE fn_securitypredicate(@current_tenant_id)
ON dbo.fact_sales;

CREATE FUNCTION fn_securitypredicate(@current_tenant_id INT)
RETURNS TABLE
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
RETURN SELECT 1 AS fn_securitypredicate_result
WHERE @current_tenant_id = CAST(USER_NAME() AS INT);

Azure Purview 数据治理：

# 使用 Azure Purview SDK 进行数据分类
from azure.mgmt.purview import PurviewAccountManagementClient

# 扫描数据湖
purview_client.scan(
    resource_group="rg-data-platform",
    account_name="purview-account",
    scan_name="data-lake-scan",
    source_endpoint={
        "type": "AzureDataLakeStore",
        "properties": {
            "endpoint": "abfss://container@datalake.dfs.core.windows.net/",
            "authentication": "ServicePrincipal"
        }
    }

VO Round 4：Behavioral

最后一轮由 Hiring Manager 进行，60 分钟。

典型问题

Q1: Why Microsoft? Why Azure?

我回答：

1. Azure 是第二大云平台：增长快速，市场机会大
2. 混合云优势：Azure Arc 支持混合云场景
3. 企业级产品：Microsoft 365、Dynamics 365 与 Azure 深度集成

Q2: Describe a time you had to work with a difficult stakeholder.

我分享了一个与业务部门沟通数据需求的经历：

• Situation: 业务部门对数据报表的交付时间不满意
• Task: 需要在不增加资源的情况下加快交付
• Action:
  1. 了解业务痛点，发现是数据刷新不及时
  2. 优化 ETL 流程，从 T+1 改为近实时
  3. 建立自助式分析能力，减少依赖
• Result: 交付时间从 2 天缩短到 2 小时，业务满意度提升

面试总结

成功经验

1. Azure 服务要熟悉：Data Factory、Synapse、ADLS、Purview 是核心
2. 企业架构思维：多租户、治理、合规是企业级平台的重点
3. SQL 能力：星型模式、增量加载、性能优化是必考题
4. 沟通能力：Microsoft 很看重与业务部门的协作

面试注意事项

产品知识：了解 Azure 数据服务的产品特性和最佳实践。

架构设计：System Design 考察的是完整的企业数据平台设计能力。

行为面试：准备团队协作、冲突解决、创新思维的故事。
