Software Engineering Director Interview Questions

1,797 software engineering director interview questions shared by candidates

Typical SDM questions about architecture/design. In addition questions about people and project management. Scenario based stuff. Felt like it was natural and talking to a colleague. Due to NDA's I won't go into details. If you have played the role before, this is should not be a problem. You don't need preparation. If you know how to build teams, manage challenging projects and have done it in past it will be natural. You can't really prepare for it. Preparation is going to be via your experience.

Describe a time when you did X, encountered Y, had to deal with Z.. Literally ask ChatGPT for a bunch of generic behavioural questions you would ask an engineering manager about managing people and dealing with conflict. This is very much a tick box exercise and NOT a conversation.
