Resume Deep‑Dive and Leadership Hypotheticals (Software Engineer Onsite)

Context

You are asked to walk through two impactful projects from your resume and then address three leadership hypotheticals. Keep the focus on objectives, your role, technical decisions and trade‑offs, measurable outcomes, lessons learned, and how you drive execution with stakeholders under constraints.

Part A — Two Projects (for each project, cover)

1. Objective and problem statement (who is the user, what pain did you solve, why it mattered)
2. Your role and the team (size, partners like PM, SRE, DS, Design)
3. Constraints (scale, SLO/SLA, privacy/compliance, legacy dependencies, timeline/budget)
4. Key technical decisions and trade‑offs (architecture, data structures, protocols, build vs buy, performance vs cost, reliability vs speed)
5. Execution approach and artifacts (design doc, ADRs, test strategy, rollout plan, monitoring, incident plan)
6. Measurable outcomes (before vs after metrics: latency, error rate, throughput, cost, engagement, revenue)
7. Lessons learned and what you would do differently

Part B — Hypotheticals

1. How you execute under ambiguous requirements
2. How you negotiate scope when timelines slip
3. How you make a decision with incomplete data

For each, include: stakeholder management, risk mitigation, and how you measure success.
