- General questions about his background and experience
- Two-way chit-chat about microservices best practices and trade-offs
- Coding problem:
- Using any programming language (even pseudocode), write a function that takes in a string and outputs the first non-repeating character
- He finished the programming problem in much less time than I'd expected
- He'd read and mentioned a recent technical article that we'd discussed in the #backend channel on Slack
- He demonstrated an interest in the discipline when he told me he left Amazon because he wanted to work with different technology and processes
- None of note
- He was generally affable and interested in the company, the product, the technology and the solutions
- He seems to be a competent communicator with diverse interests
- I recommend we pursue more interviews with him
