Sample interview questions
How would you investigate a customer report that a PostgreSQL query is slow in Supabase?

I would first collect the query, schema context, expected versus actual behavior, relevant execution-plan output, table size, indexes, and reproducibility details. I would use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify bottlenecks, check indexing and query patterns, reproduce safely where possible, and provide a clear recommendation or escalate with the collected evidence.

How do you prioritize support cases when several channels are active at once?

I prioritize by customer impact, severity, security implications, service availability, and time sensitivity. I acknowledge new cases promptly, set expectations, link users to existing documentation or known fixes when appropriate, and escalate incidents that require engineering or business-team intervention.

Describe how you would turn a support report into a useful engineering escalation.

I would write a concise problem statement, include exact reproduction steps, expected and actual results, logs or error messages with sensitive data removed, environment details, and the customer impact. I would also document troubleshooting already completed and identify the specific question or decision needed from engineering.

What is your approach to supporting developers who are frustrated or unfamiliar with the product?

I begin by acknowledging the issue and clarifying the desired outcome. I use direct, respectful language, give actionable steps and minimal reproducible examples, verify whether the solution worked, and improve documentation or internal notes when the question reveals a recurring source of confusion.

How could automation improve a developer support team’s efficiency?

I would look for repetitive requests, common diagnostic steps, and patterns in case routing. Useful improvements might include response templates, diagnostic scripts, issue labels, documentation links triggered by keywords, dashboards for recurring errors, and feedback loops that identify documentation gaps.
