Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Tell me about a time you had to enforce architecture standards or governance on a project when engineers or stakeholders pushed back.

ability to hold the line on standards without alienating the team, which the role explicitly requires

Describe your experience integrating endpoint deployment work with an InfoSec or GIS-type team. What did that collaboration actually look like day to day?

real cross-functional experience with security teams, not just claiming exposure to it

Tell me about a major incident you led the response for on an endpoint platform. What went wrong, and what did you personally do?

direct experience owning incident response, not just being present for one

Tell me about a time your roadmap prioritization was challenged by a stakeholder who wanted something different pushed to the top. How did you resolve it?

ability to own and defend roadmap decisions under pressure, a stated job responsibility

Technical

Walk me through how you'd design a Modern Endpoint Management architecture for a company moving off SCCM and onto Intune, covering both Windows and macOS.

whether the candidate can actually architect a cloud-first endpoint solution rather than just operate an existing one

What's the difference between conceptual, logical, and detailed architecture design, and where have you actually operated at each of those levels?

whether the candidate has genuinely done architecture work versus only engineering execution

How do you decide what SLAs or XLAs make sense for an MSP supporting endpoint services, and how do you catch a vendor quietly missing them?

whether they know how to set and monitor vendor performance metrics rather than just accept vendor reporting

Walk me through how you'd design a policy or configuration profile in Intune versus JAMF for the same security requirement, say enforcing disk encryption across Windows and macOS.

hands-on cross-platform depth in the two named tools, not just familiarity with one

What's your approach to running a proof of concept for a new endpoint tool or feature before it gets adopted broadly?

structured evaluation skill versus jumping straight to implementation

Tell me about the toughest technical problem you've solved involving Active Directory, Azure AD, SCCM, or GPO working together, or against each other.

depth across the specific legacy and cloud identity tools named in the requirements

Situational

Say a company we've just acquired shows up with a mix of unmanaged laptops and a legacy AD environment. How would you bring those devices into our Intune and Azure AD environment with minimal disruption?

practical M&A integration experience and understanding of hybrid identity/device management transitions

How would you go about improving the quality of project submissions and resource estimates coming from the engineering team, if you found those were consistently inaccurate?

process improvement instincts and whether they think beyond individual tickets to team-level discipline

Describe a time you had to balance end-user experience against a security requirement that made devices harder to use. How did you land on a solution?

judgment in the core tension of the role, security versus supportability versus usability
