Technology Stack and Innovation Questions

Evaluates knowledge of current technology trends and the practical approach to selecting, adopting, and integrating platforms, frameworks, and tools. For Apple roles this includes familiarity with the Apple platform ecosystem such as iOS, macOS and Metal and their developer toolchains and constraints. Topics include criteria for choosing technologies such as performance, security, scalability, maintainability, cost, interoperability and developer productivity; methods for running proofs of concept, pilots and staged rollouts; migration and deprecation strategies; vendor lock in and risk assessment; and alignment of technology choices with product roadmaps and operational support requirements. Interviewers assess how candidates balance innovation with long term maintainability and technical debt, measure technical risk, and communicate trade offs to stakeholders.
