Welcoming questions

  1. Can you tell us about yourself and a feature you shipped end to end?
  2. Where on the stack do you consider yourself deepest, and where are you lighter?

Role-specific / technical competencies

  1. Walk us through the architecture of a full feature you built: UI, API, and data model.
  2. How do you design an API you will also consume yourself on the front end?
  3. How do you decide between putting logic in the front end, the back end, or the database?
  4. Describe your testing strategy across the stack for a typical feature.
  5. How do you approach a slow page when the cause could be anywhere in the stack?

Behavioural & culture fit

  1. Tell us about a time you cut scope to ship on time. What did you cut and why?
  2. Describe a production incident you owned end to end.
  3. How do you keep both sides of your skill set sharp?

Problem-solving / case

  1. A form submission intermittently loses data. Walk us through your debugging across the stack.
  2. You must add multi-tenancy to a single-tenant app. What changes at each layer?
  3. Product wants a real-time notification feature by next month. How do you scope and build it?
