Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a backend project you built, for class or on your own. What would you do differently now?
What they are checking: Hands-on coding experience and the ability to reflect on design choices honestly.
Tell me about a time you had to learn a new tool or language quickly. How did you go about it?
What they are checking: Self-directed learning, since tools like Oracle SOA and Informatica are rarely taught in school.
Why does a metals manufacturer interest you for a software internship?
What they are checking: Genuine interest in applying technology to manufacturing rather than just wanting any IT internship.
What would you do
An integration job that moves orders between systems failed overnight. Where would you start looking?
What they are checking: Troubleshooting instinct, starting with logs and the last known good state instead of guessing.
You're working 15 to 20 hours a week during school. How would you keep a project moving when you're only here part of the week?
What they are checking: Communication and handoff habits that make a part-time intern reliable to the team.
You're stuck on a problem for an hour and your mentor is in meetings. What do you do?
What they are checking: Balance between independent effort and knowing when to ask, which every intern needs.
About the work
In plain words, what is an integration between two systems, and why would a manufacturer need so many of them?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that data has to move between ERP, plant and cloud systems for the business to run.
Have you worked with containers? Explain what a container is and why a team might run them on Kubernetes.
What they are checking: Basic grasp of the container tools the internship names, at the level a sophomore or junior could reach.
What's an API, and how would you secure one that other systems call?
What they are checking: Early awareness of service security such as authentication and keys, which the posting calls out.
What's the difference between running something on your laptop and running it in a cloud service like Azure?
What they are checking: Basic understanding of hosting, configuration and environments beyond local development.
