Questions to expect in a software engineer interview
We wrote these six as typical examples. For questions from your own posting, paste the job description into the box above.
Tell me about a bug that took you more than a day to find.
Say what you checked first, what ruled each guess out, and what you changed so it can't come back.
Describe a technical decision you disagreed with. What did you do?
State the trade-off both sides saw, how you argued your side, and how you worked after the decision went against you.
How would you design a rate limiter for a public API?
Name the algorithm, where the counters live, what happens when that store is down, and what the client sees.
Walk me through a project you are proud of.
Spend one sentence on the problem, most of the answer on your own part, and end on a result you can measure.
How do you decide when code is ready to ship?
Give your actual checks: tests, review, rollout plan, and what you watch after release.
Tell me about a time you had to learn a new codebase quickly.
Describe how you found your way around, the first change you made, and how long it took.

Questions people ask
Is it free?
Yes. Writing the 14 questions and answering one out loud cost nothing and need no account. A free account shows all 14 and lets you practise the first 3, with one scored drill a day and a free retry of each.
What happens to my job description?
We send it to OpenAI to write your questions. If you don't sign up, we delete it within 7 days. If you sign up, it's saved with your plan so you can write new questions later, and you can ask us to delete it.
How are the questions written?
An AI model reads your job description and writes 14 questions. When it can, each one shows a quote from what you pasted, and the code checks that the quote is really there. The model can still miss, so treat the list as practice, not a prediction of what you'll be asked.
What do I get with an account?
All 14 questions, one scored drill a day on your first 3 with a transcript, a score and one thing to fix, and a free retry of each. The 2-week pass opens every question and everything in Pro for 14 days.
