I've interviewed maybe 500 engineers in my career. I'm an early engineer of Instacart, 3rd engineer of Eventbrite, founding engineer of Reforge. Started 3 companies myself.
My interview is always the same:
1. Bring code you've written
2. Share your screen
3. Explain what it does and I will casually ask questions about it
You get so much information from this:
- How they think about code
- If they think it could be better
- Who they blame if the code isn't the best
- Personality
- Product dev glimpses
- Comms
- Sentiment
