Your question is Pushing Back To Engineering. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Tell me about a time you pushed back to engineering but eventually did what you wanted. Explain what you disagreed about, why you believed your approach was better, how you communicated your position, and how you handled the final decision. I am looking for evidence that you can challenge technical partners respectfully, use facts rather than preference, and preserve trust while advocating for the product. A strong response will describe the specific trade-offs, show how you incorporated engineering’s perspective, and clearly distinguish between influencing a decision and refusing to commit after a decision is made.
