Behavioral Screen: Responsibilities, Project Deep Dive, and Relocation
You are interviewing for a Software Engineer role in a behavioral/leadership HR screen. Provide a concise overview of your current role, then deep-dive into the largest-scope project you have worked on, and finally address relocation.
Please cover:
- Current Responsibilities (1–2 minutes)
- Team and scope (team size, codebases/services you own, on-call/SLAs)
- Day-to-day: development, code reviews, design, cross-functional collaboration
- Impact highlights (recent wins, reliability/performance improvements)
- Project Deep Dive (5–7 minutes)
- Objective and context (problem, users/stakeholders, constraints)
- Architecture/design (system components, data flow, interfaces, key decisions)
- Your specific contributions (what you personally led/built/decided)
- Technical challenges and trade-offs (why you chose X over Y)
- Metrics for success (latency/throughput, reliability, cost, adoption, time-to-market)
- Business impact (revenue/risk/cost/productivity outcomes)
- Relocation
- Are you willing to relocate? If yes, which locations, target timeline, and constraints (e.g., lease end, visa, family)?
