Sample interview questions
How have you improved the performance of a technical support team serving enterprise customers?

I begin by defining measurable outcomes such as response time, resolution time, escalation quality, customer satisfaction, and backlog health. I review trends with the team, coach against specific gaps, document repeatable playbooks, and remove systemic blockers through partnerships with engineering and product. This creates sustained improvement rather than short-term metric optimization.

How would you handle a critical dbt Cloud issue affecting an enterprise customer?

I would establish severity, business impact, ownership, and a clear communication cadence immediately. I would coordinate the appropriate support and engineering resources, provide the customer with transparent updates and practical mitigations, and ensure the incident is documented through resolution. Afterward, I would lead a review to identify prevention measures, product feedback, and support-runbook improvements.

What is your approach to using SQL in a customer support engineering environment?

I use SQL to investigate data behavior, validate reported issues, reproduce customer scenarios, and communicate evidence clearly to engineering teams. I expect support engineers to be able to read and write queries safely, while providing standards and peer review for investigations involving customer data. SQL literacy also helps the team support analytics-engineering workflows more credibly.

How do you ensure the voice of the customer influences product decisions?

I create a structured feedback loop that categorizes issues by customer impact, frequency, technical root cause, and strategic relevance. I share quantified patterns with product and engineering, participate in prioritization discussions, and close the loop with customers and the support team when improvements are delivered. This makes feedback actionable rather than anecdotal.

How would you lead a distributed team across APJ regions?

I would establish clear operating rhythms, shared documentation, equitable communication practices, and measurable expectations that work across time zones. Regular one-to-ones, team retrospectives, and coaching sessions would support individual growth, while intentional handoffs and escalation protocols would protect customer coverage. I would also adapt my leadership style to regional and cultural differences while maintaining consistent standards.
