Sample interview questions
I would define clear abstractions for ad requests, targeting, consent state, lifecycle events, rendering, and analytics, with provider-specific implementations isolated behind interfaces. The platform would be modular, testable, and observable, enabling product teams to integrate placements consistently while allowing the advertising stack to evolve independently.
I would partner with Legal and Privacy to translate requirements into enforceable technical states, such as consent-aware request construction, restricted data processing, and age-appropriate handling where needed. I would also document data flows, minimize collected identifiers, ensure SDK initialization follows consent status, and add automated tests for consent transitions.
I start by tracing a request end to end: placement configuration, targeting values, consent status, network connectivity, SDK callbacks, response metadata, and relevant GAM line-item eligibility. I use structured logging and dashboards to distinguish no-fill, rendering, viewability, and measurement problems, then validate fixes with controlled test traffic.
I would map current module dependencies and identify high-churn or overly coupled areas, then establish boundaries around domain, data, UI, and platform capabilities. I would enforce dependency rules, improve build caching and CI observability, migrate incrementally, and use shared Compose design-system components without creating a monolithic UI module.
I would begin with stakeholder discovery and measurable outcomes, then write a design document covering architecture, trade-offs, privacy considerations, rollout risks, ownership, and success metrics. After gathering feedback through an RFC process, I would break delivery into milestones, maintain transparent communication, use feature flags for rollout, and assess results against performance, revenue, and user-experience goals.
