INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Treat the skills below as conversational starting points rather than a strict checklist during your evaluation:
- Java — “Have an answer ready for how you'd structure a small class hierarchy and defend the tradeoffs out loud.”
- Go — “Talk me through a specific concurrency bug you've debugged in a Go service.”
- React — “Expect a question on component design decisions and state-management tradeoffs in a small live-coding exercise.”
With 13-15 years of professional background expected, interviews will focus on concrete examples and detailed technical decisions rather than generalities.
Titles at this level usually get at least one round on architecture rather than pure implementation — come ready to talk through how you'd design something around Java, Go and React, including the trade-offs, not just how you'd build one piece of it.
