I would use idempotent consumers, retries with dead-letter queues, schema versioning, correlation IDs, and clear ownership of event contracts. Capacity metrics, tracing, and back-pressure controls would help maintain reliability while scaling. Describe how you would decide between REST and GraphQL for a new product capability. I would begin with client data-access patterns, domain boundaries, caching needs, and integration requirements. REST is often effective for stable resource-oriented workflows and external integrations, while GraphQL is valuable when product clients need flexible aggregation across related data. In either case, I would define authorization, versioning or schema-evolution practices, observability, and performance limits early. How do you approach a performance issue in a large React application? I first measure the user-facing symptom using browser profiling, real-user telemetry, and application metrics rather than guessing. I then identify rendering hotspots, unnecessary state propagation, expensive computations, network waterfalls, or oversized bundles and address the highest-impact causes. I validate improvements with repeatable benchmarks and monitoring so the regression does not return. Tell us about your approach to technical leadership when a team disagrees on an architecture decision. I make the decision criteria explicit, such as reliability, security, delivery time, operational cost, and long-term maintainability. I encourage engineers to present evidence, prototypes, and trade-offs, then document the chosen direction and its rationale in an architecture decision record. Once a decision is made, I create alignment through clear implementation boundaries and follow-up checkpoints. How would you safely integrate an AI-powered service into a legal document-management product? I would establish strict authorization boundaries so the service only receives content the user is permitted to access, with auditability and data-handling controls built in. I would evaluate output quality, failure modes, latency, cost, and human-review requirements before broad release. Feature flags, monitoring, feedback loops, and clear user disclosures would enable a controlled rollout while protecting trust and compliance. Opportunity details ## About this role.
