Software Engineer interview questions: the 8 to ask
A software engineer designs, builds and evolves reliable software, as part of a team and over time.
- 1.Describe a project you are proud of and your exact role.
- 2.How do you break a large feature into deliverables?
- 3.How do you give and receive code review feedback?
- 4.How do you decide code is tested enough?
- 5.Tell me about a hard bug and how you found it.
- 6.How do you estimate a task?
- 7.How do you learn a new technology?
- 8.Which technical trade-off did you have to defend?
Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
