This question evaluates a candidate's engineering depth and leadership competency by requiring a structured walkthrough of a recent technical project covering problem framing, architectural trade-offs, data modeling and APIs, scalability and reliability, testing and rollout, and measurement of outcomes.
Walk through a recent technical project you led or significantly contributed to: the problem, constraints, architecture, key design decisions, trade-offs, and why. Detail the data model, interfaces, scaling strategy, testing/validation, rollout plan, and how you measured success. Describe the toughest technical challenge, how you debugged it, and what you would do differently in a v2.
