Describe handling ambiguity and resolving design conflicts

Answer the following behavioral prompts with concrete examples (you can assume a software engineering role):

Prompt A — Delivering with little guidance

Describe a time you had very limited information / no clear guidance but still needed to deliver.

Be prepared for follow-ups such as:

• How did you decide priorities?
• Did you introduce a code freeze ? Why/why not?
• How did you maintain parity between systems/versions during migration?
• How did you run an A/B experiment or staged rollout (risk control, success metrics, rollback)?

Prompt B — Handling disagreement on a technical design

Describe a time you had a significant disagreement with another engineer/stakeholder on technical design or implementation.

Cover:

• What was the disagreement?
• How did you drive alignment?
• What did you ship, and what was the outcome?

Prompt C — Self-introduction deep dive

Give a brief introduction of your background and 1–2 projects, then answer deep-dive questions about the choices you made.
