Top Software Engineering Manager Interview Questions and Answers
I have compiled a list of the top technical manager or software engineering manager interview questions that big companies have asked in recent years. These questions cover a wide range of topics, including team management, technical problem-solving, Agile/Scrum methodologies, code review, and technology experience. In this blog, I will provide possible answers and examples for each question to help aspiring technical managers and software engineering managers prepare for their interviews!
- Can you tell us about a time when you had to manage a team through a challenging technical problem?
A possible answer: “Yes, there was a time when our team encountered a critical issue with our microservices architecture that affected the performance of our product. To resolve the issue, I assigned specific tasks to each team member based on their strengths and worked closely with them to ensure that we met our deadline. We also scheduled regular meetings to share updates and discuss any roadblocks that came up during the project. We eventually identified the root cause of the problem and implemented a fix, which resulted in improved performance and better customer satisfaction.”
