Sample interview questions
How would you introduce SAST, DAST, and SCA into a CI/CD pipeline without creating excessive friction for developers?

I would start by baselining findings and tuning each tool to reduce false positives. I would use severity-based gates for newly introduced critical issues, provide actionable remediation guidance in pull requests, and track legacy findings through a risk-based backlog rather than blocking all releases.

What are key security considerations when reviewing a GraphQL API?

I would review authorization at the resolver level, validate input handling, enforce query depth and complexity limits, control introspection appropriately, and ensure sensitive fields cannot be accessed through indirect object references. I would also test rate limiting, error handling, and schema exposure.

How do you prioritize a large queue of application vulnerabilities?

I assess exploitability, business impact, data sensitivity, internet exposure, affected asset criticality, and the availability of compensating controls. I then work with service owners to define remediation timelines and escalate urgent issues with clear evidence and practical mitigation options.

Describe how you would use GitHub Advanced Security to improve an engineering organization's security posture.

I would enable code scanning, secret scanning, dependency review, and Dependabot alerts across priority repositories. I would establish ownership and triage workflows, tune detection rules, integrate findings into developer processes, and measure remediation time and recurring vulnerability patterns.

How would you explain a significant security finding to a non-technical stakeholder?

I would describe the affected business process, the realistic impact, likelihood, and recommended decision in plain language. I would avoid jargon, distinguish confirmed risk from theoretical risk, and present remediation options with trade-offs, owners, and timelines.
