Sample interview questions
I would identify critical user actions and make their states durable before relying on downstream services. I would use timeouts, retries with backoff, idempotent operations, queue-based processing where appropriate, clear degraded-mode UI messaging, and monitoring so the team can quickly detect and resolve failures.
I have built production web applications using Django for API and business-logic layers and React-based interfaces for interactive workflows. My approach includes well-defined domain models, performant database access, secure API design, component reuse, automated tests, and observability to support growth.
I start by measuring query behavior and application bottlenecks, then improve indexes, query patterns, data models, and pagination as needed. I use Redis selectively for caching, rate limiting, short-lived state, and asynchronous workload coordination, while ensuring cache invalidation and data consistency are explicitly designed.
I use AI tools to accelerate exploration, draft tests and documentation, review edge cases, and reduce repetitive work. I validate generated output carefully through code review, testing, security checks, and my own understanding of the system, especially for critical production paths.
I begin by clarifying customer impact, constraints, success metrics, and operational risks. I present trade-offs clearly, use design documents or small prototypes to validate assumptions, incorporate feedback early, and help align implementation milestones with product priorities and reliability requirements.

As one of the fastest-growing software companies in the country, AlertMedia is looking for a Sr. Software Engineer with full-stack experience. This role is on our Incident Response team. Customers use Incident Response during an active emergency — to declare an incident, assess who and what is affected, assign tasks, and coordinate the response across the organization. As an AI-forward company, we actively use modern AI tools such as Claude, Codex, and other emerging technologies to help our engineers work smarter, move faster, and build better products.
Who you are:
You thrive in a collaborative engineering environment that plays to everyone’s strengths with a willingness to work across the entire stack. You’ve developed scalable production web applications in Python/Django/Next.js/React. You design for people operating under pressure, and you think as carefully about the failure paths as the happy path. You care about the quality of your work, the impactful product you help build, and the team you help build it with. You have AWS (or other cloud) experience and are willing to learn from people with both more and less experience than you. You are a user of AI-assisted development tools that improve engineering workflows, code quality, and team productivity.
What you get to do every day:
- Design and develop features for the AlertMedia Incident Response product
- Build features that hold up during live emergencies — correct under load, and predictable when a dependency degrades
- Learn the AlertMedia platform, its tools, and how customers use them
- Work with Python, Django, Next.js, React, Node, and other web technologies
- Use AI-enabled tools such as Claude, Codex, and other emerging platforms to support development, problem-solving, documentation, and productivity
- Work in an Agile-based environment using tools like Git, JIRA, Jenkins, and Slack
- Help maintain AlertMedia’s technology advantage over other solutions through innovative development and by contributing new ideas for leveraging technology in our product line
- Use strong verbal and written communication skills in collaboration with other engineering and product teams
- Contribute to AlertMedia’s culture, values and vision for the future
What you bring to the role:
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering or related field preferred
- 6+ years of experience building scalable web applications, Python/Django/React/Node tech stack preferred
- Experience with Linux-based containers using tools like Docker or Kubernetes
- Experience with Amazon Web Services (or other cloud services) is required
- Experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and other storage technologies is required
- You have an established practice of writing unit and integration tests
- Proficiency using AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, or similar) across the development lifecycle
- Collaborative mindset to partner with principal engineers and leadership to drive architectural evolution for a critical application
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage working on multiple projects in parallel
- The ability and desire to work in a fast-paced, challenging environment
- Outstanding communication skills and ability to effectively work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, challenging environment
- Strong English proficiency (written and oral) is required
Location: This role is remote in Mexico. We do have a Mexico City office in the Reforma area if you’d like to go into the office and collaborate with our engineering team, otherwise it is a fully remote position based in Mexico.
