Director Engineering Interview Questions

9,656 director engineering interview questions shared by candidates

The architectural interviews were mostly focused on if I still was technical or if I'd completely lost touch with what's going on on the front line. There were questions about testing, testing boundaries, testing ideology, and practices. As well as questions regarding architecture for designing a single system to manage all the elevators in the city. It was very open ended. I enjoyed brain storming around the concept.

They asked a lot about my job history, and how I made things scale. (Which was basically a load balancer, and sharding). When asked very specifically about how to scale something beyond that this didn't seem to suffice for an answer.
