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 time you cut cloud costs meaningfully without hurting reliability.

What they are checking: Whether they can manage spend with real levers like rightsizing and reservations instead of vague belt-tightening.

Tell me about a significant production incident on your watch. What did you do during it and after it?

What they are checking: Calm incident leadership and whether they run blameless reviews that actually change something.

Tell me about someone on your team who was underperforming. How did you handle it?

What they are checking: Willingness to address performance directly and fairly, which the posting names as a core part of this manager's job.

How do you hire cloud engineers? What do you look for that a resume will not show you?

What they are checking: Whether they have a deliberate hiring approach, since building the team is listed as a core responsibility.

What would you do

The myQ cloud supports millions of devices and app users every day. How would you approach getting to know the platform and its weak points in your first 90 days?

What they are checking: Whether they learn before they change things and know how to find real risk in a large running system.

How do you split responsibilities between your cloud engineering team and SRE or DevOps so nothing falls between the two?

What they are checking: Clarity about ownership boundaries, which is where outages and finger-pointing usually start.

How do you work with IT Security when they want a control that will slow your team down?

What they are checking: Whether they treat security as a partner and find workable solutions rather than routing around it.

How do you decide which modernization work makes the roadmap when product teams also want new features?

What they are checking: Ability to argue for platform investment in business terms that product and engineering leaders accept.

About the work

Walk me through how you use infrastructure as code and what you do when someone makes a manual change in production.

What they are checking: Whether they enforce automation discipline and handle drift calmly instead of just writing a rule nobody follows.

How do you design cloud infrastructure for a connected device platform where devices may reconnect all at once after an outage?

What they are checking: Understanding of scale problems specific to IoT, like reconnect storms, rate limiting and graceful degradation.

What does operational maturity mean to you, and how would you measure whether your team is improving?

What they are checking: Whether they can define concrete measures like incident rates, recovery time and toil rather than using the phrase loosely.
