Technical Excellence and Platform Health Questions

Focuses on the practices and trade offs involved in maintaining long term platform sustainability and engineering quality. Areas assessed include technical debt identification and prioritization, strategies for refactoring and incremental improvement, code quality and testing practices, observability and monitoring that enable fast detection and recovery, service level objectives and incident management approaches, and alignment of maintenance work with business objectives. Candidates should be able to articulate how they balance short term feature delivery with long term health, how they measure and track platform indicators, and how they influence cross team processes to sustain reliability and developer productivity.
