Sample interview questions
Describe a distributed system you helped scale and the architectural decisions you made.

I would explain the system’s traffic and reliability constraints, then describe how I separated responsibilities into services, introduced asynchronous event processing where appropriate, defined observability standards, and measured the impact through latency, error-rate, and throughput improvements.

How do you approach diagnosing an incident that spans multiple services?

I first establish the customer impact and timeline, then use dashboards, logs, traces, deployment history, and queue or database metrics to isolate the failing dependency. I prioritize mitigation, communicate status clearly, identify the root cause, and document follow-up actions to prevent recurrence.

What practices do you use to maintain quality in a Node.js and TypeScript service?

I use clear interface contracts, code review, linting, type checking, unit and integration tests, API contract tests, and production monitoring. I also ensure failure paths, retries, idempotency, and input validation are tested rather than focusing only on successful requests.

How would you optimize a slow SQL-backed API endpoint?

I would reproduce and measure the slow path, inspect the query plan, verify indexes and join behavior, reduce unnecessary data retrieval, and address N+1 queries or transaction contention. After making a targeted change, I would validate correctness and compare latency and database-load metrics before release.

How do you collaborate effectively in a fully remote engineering organization?

I make work visible through concise written updates, well-defined design documents, and timely asynchronous feedback. I use pairing for ambiguous or complex work, communicate risks early, and create clear handoffs so teammates across time zones can continue moving work forward.
