Tech Lead interview questions: the 8 to ask

A tech lead guides a development team technically while still writing code.

  1. 1.How do you split your time between code and leading?
  2. 2.How do you get a team to accept a technical decision?
  3. 3.How do you help a struggling developer?
  4. 4.How do you weigh technical debt against features?
  5. 5.How do you run code reviews?
  6. 6.Tell me about a technical disagreement and how it ended.
  7. 7.How do you measure team health?
  8. 8.How do you onboard a new developer?

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
