Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Prioritize Debt vs Feature Delivery. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You are leading an engineering roadmap where the team is under pressure to ship new customer-facing features, but the codebase also has growing technical debt that is slowing development and increasing operational risk. You need a clear way to decide when debt should be addressed now versus deferred in favor of feature work.
How do you prioritize technical debt against new feature development?
