Question 1
1. Describe a coding solution that you were most proud of. This could be a small problem that you solved smartly, or a larger problem that you had to break down into pieces. Please include the details on the specific scenario, the blockers you came up against, and your specific technical efforts to build the solution. 2. Troubleshooting - You've been chatting with a user who is writing code to interact with our API, but they are getting HTTP 504 status code errors and they've requested assistance. How do you help them identify the root cause and work through the errors? What kind of information would you gather from them, and how would you use that to help solve the issue? 3. Ruby on rails code snippet and you have to identify the problem with the code. 4. Can you give us an example of when you’ve helped a customer solve their actual problem, rather than treating the symptom? This could be a time where you had to figure out what the customer's actual goal was, even if it wasn't clear from their original question or problem. 5. Tell us about a time where you didn't know what to do next, or how to solve a challenging problem. Explain the scenario, how you decided on what was needed, how you prioritized it, and the final outcome. Note: These questions came in a document, so you will be given a few days to complete them.
