Sample interview questions
How would you investigate a customer report that a Next.js deployment works locally but fails on Vercel?

I would first gather the deployment URL, build logs, runtime logs, repository configuration, environment variables, and a minimal reproduction if possible. I would compare local and production Node.js versions, build commands, dependency locks, and environment-specific behavior, then isolate whether the failure occurs at build time, runtime, routing, or external-service integration. I would communicate clear findings and propose both an immediate workaround and a durable fix.

Explain how you would diagnose a custom-domain issue for a Vercel project.

I would verify the domain configuration in Vercel, inspect DNS records and propagation, confirm whether the required CNAME or A records are present, and check for conflicting records or proxy settings. I would also review certificate status, redirects, and any domain verification errors. I would explain the required DNS changes in plain language and remain engaged until propagation and HTTPS are confirmed.

Describe an example of turning a recurring support issue into an engineering improvement.

I would identify patterns from case volume, issue severity, and customer impact, then document the technical root cause and reproduce it with a focused test case. Depending on the cause, I might create validation in an internal tool, improve error messaging, automate a diagnostic step, or update product documentation. I would measure whether the change reduces repeat tickets and share the outcome with support and engineering stakeholders.

How do you communicate during a customer-impacting incident when the root cause is still unknown?

I provide timely, factual updates that distinguish confirmed information from active investigation. I explain impact, current mitigation steps, the next expected update time, and any customer actions that are safe to take. Internally, I keep an incident timeline and ensure messages are concise, consistent, and free of speculation.

What practices help you succeed in an on-call support rotation?

I maintain clear runbooks, reliable alert context, and escalation paths so that issues can be assessed quickly. During an incident, I prioritize customer impact, communicate status early, and document decisions and follow-up tasks. Afterward, I contribute to post-incident improvements such as automation, monitoring, documentation, and prevention of similar failures.
