I would define bounded service responsibilities, APIs, data ownership, observability, failure handling, and a deployment approach, then validate key decisions with lightweight prototypes and stakeholder reviews. Describe how you balance hands-on engineering work with leading a development team. I focus my hands-on time on architecture, critical implementation paths, technical risk reduction, and code-quality standards. I delegate ownership clearly, use regular technical checkpoints and mentoring, and ensure the team has enough context to make decisions independently. How do you identify and address delivery blockers before they affect a project? I maintain transparent delivery plans, monitor dependencies and risks during regular team and client discussions, and use measurable milestones. When a blocker emerges, I assess its impact quickly, assign an owner, communicate options to stakeholders, and remove or mitigate it before it becomes a schedule or quality issue. What practices would you use to ensure quality in a Golang codebase? I would establish clear code-review expectations, automated formatting and static analysis, unit and integration testing, contract testing where appropriate, and CI quality gates. I would also promote test-driven development for business-critical logic and use production monitoring to validate real-world reliability. How would you translate ambiguous client requirements into an actionable technical plan? I would run structured discovery conversations to clarify the business goal, user outcomes, constraints, assumptions, and success metrics. I would document the proposed solution in a concise technical brief, identify open decisions and risks, and gain alignment through iterative reviews before committing the team to delivery.
