Functional Requirements Users should be able to create/read/update/delete jobs and schedules A job is any arbitrary program/computation that a user writes. For example, I could write a program in Python that does print("Hello World!"), or you could write one that downloads a file and uploads it into a blob storage service. https://ehotinger.com/blog/technical-program-manager-example-interview-questions/ Mon, 01 Jul 2024 08:55:46 -0700 https://ehotinger.com/blog/technical-program-manager-example-interview-questions/ Technical Program Manager (TPM) Example Interview Questions Below is a collection of various interview questions I’ve asked to TPMs in the past along with an example calibration guideline you can use. Technical Problem Solving Can you give me an example where you had to dive deep into a problem and be hands on with the engineering team to figure out a solution to a problem? How would you run a project to upgrade users to a new version of an API? https://ehotinger.com/blog/behavioral-interviews-framework-and-strategy/ Sun, 08 Jan 2023 14:13:36 -0800 https://ehotinger.com/blog/behavioral-interviews-framework-and-strategy/ Behavioral Interviews: Framework and Strategy 1. The Framework Use the Situation, Task, Action, Result framework. Also known as STAR. Situation: The interviewer wants you to present a recent challenging situation in which you found yourself. Task: What were you required to achieve? The interviewer will be looking to see what you were trying to achieve from the situation. Action: What did you do? The interviewer will be looking for information on what you did, why you did it and what the alternatives were. https://ehotinger.com/blog/coding-interviews-framework-and-strategy/ Sun, 08 Jan 2023 12:22:00 -0800 https://ehotinger.com/blog/coding-interviews-framework-and-strategy/ Coding Interviews: Framework and Strategy The goal of this post is to provide you with a reliable strategy and framework for general coding and technical interviews. At the end, I provide a rough calibration guide to be used in any coding interview so that you can evaluate your performance and others’ performance with mock practice once you understand the framework and strategies. The Framework Every coding interview can be broken into four high-level steps: https://ehotinger.com/blog/system-design-interviews-framework-and-strategy/ Sun, 08 Jan 2023 09:22:14 -0800 https://ehotinger.com/blog/system-design-interviews-framework-and-strategy/ System Design Interviews: Framework and Strategy System design interviews are often the most difficult technical interviews and can be daunting to tackle. They require a candidate to gather requirements, deal with ambiguity, communicate, and optimize their solution using all of their computer science knowledge. To make matters worse, these interviews are open-ended with hundreds of potential variations to achieve the desired end state of a system. How could anyone expect someone to design such a complex system in only an hour of time?
