Sample interview questionsHow would you structure a dbt project for a growing analytics organization?I would separate models into staging, core, and mart layers. Staging models standardize source data, core models implement reusable business logic, and marts expose domain-focused datasets for reporting. I would also use source freshness checks, tests, documentation, naming conventions, and CI validation to keep the project maintainable.

How do you investigate and prevent a discrepancy between two dashboards that should report the same metric?

I would first identify the source tables, filters, time definitions, and aggregation logic used by each dashboard. I would trace lineage to find where definitions diverge, validate the underlying data, and then consolidate the metric into a tested canonical model or semantic definition. Finally, I would document the definition and communicate the correction to stakeholders.

What techniques would you use to optimize BigQuery costs and query performance?

I would reduce scanned data through partitioning, clustering, selective projections, incremental models, and avoiding unnecessary repeated transformations. I would review query plans and bytes processed, materialize costly reusable logic where justified, and set appropriate freshness and incremental strategies in dbt.

How would you implement data quality monitoring for critical reporting models?

I would combine dbt schema tests for uniqueness, non-null values, relationships, and accepted values with custom SQL tests for business rules. For critical metrics, I would add freshness checks and anomaly monitoring for volume, distribution, and metric changes. Alerts should be routed with clear ownership and runbooks for investigation.

Describe how you translate an ambiguous business request into an analytical dataset.

I start by clarifying the business decision, users, metric definitions, grain, source systems, time logic, and expected edge cases. I then propose a model design and sample outputs for stakeholder confirmation before implementation. After building the dataset, I document assumptions, add quality tests, validate results with users, and iterate based on feedback.
